Re: [jts-dev] JTS release artifacts
Hi Hackers,

I also sympathize Thilo. It takes me some time to figure out where the JTS official repo is. The SourceForge site, Wikipedia page and the past Home Page are out of date. As far as I know, almost every famous Java based Geospatial software uses JTS as a dependency, but such a great and fundamental software's Github repository only has 70 Github Stars...

It will accelerate the incubation process if more people know JTS Github and contribute their code. Having an active community is great.

Thanks,
Jia

I can understand if it's not possible to release a rebranded 1.14 for various reasons.

But the issue here, in my opinion, is that regarding Maven artifacts com.vividsolutions/jts is *not* obsolete until there as been a LocationTech release. Perhaps this is an argument for releasing 1.15 as early as possible.

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.

I've made an request (https://github.com/locationtech/jts/issues/78) for a release of 1.14 from LocationTech but we cannot assume this is possible.

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'
