I also very much sympathize with Thilo.
The current situation as regards a ‘proper home’ seems to be inadequate for such highly regarded software that is so widely used worldwide.

I very much sympathize with Thilo. The old SourceForge site could be updated to include a banner. Wikipedia could be updated with correct links, and note that it migrated from now obsolete locations. I'm not aware of a way to help users
know about a change in Maven coordinates. I've heard of this and just read it: https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-relocation.html but it's not 100% clear to me it applies to
JTS's situation? I'm not sure. What I don't think can/should be done is re-releasing 1.14 or prior in any way suggesting a LocationTech relationship.
Sebastian is correct, i.e the latest version is 1.14 and was released last year before the LocationTech incubation process.
As far as I know, the LocationTech repository is still incubation but has recently become the master for future versions of JTS.

Hi Thilo,
I don't know why you think 1.12 would be the last released version,
because when I visit
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.vividsolutions/jts
I see 1.13 released in December 2012.
This is however indeed not the latest version. JTS has been split into
submodules jts-core, jts-io, etc. You find info about jts-core here:
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.vividsolutions/jts-core
You find the most up-to-date information on this directly on the README
in the github repo. From the main README.md there is a link to the
'User Guide' under section 'Documentation':
https://github.com/locationtech/jts/blob/master/USING.md
which has information about the pointers to Maven (although it does
state a generic ${jts.version} instead of 1.14.0), but at least it does
name the artifact coordinates to use (group and artifacti id).
The most recent artifact id should be:
'com.vividsolutions:jts-core:1.14.0'
