Geotools Jar Download Extra Quality
Marjorie Piganelli
I had a similar problem. By tracing through the stack I found that there were no geometry factories for GeometryBuilder() to find. If there are no factories, GeometryBuilder throws an No factory of kind "" exception. The solution is at This plugin includes the factories necessary to use the org.geotools.geometry classes.
I have a bundle org.geotools in my plugin. The bundle org.geotools requires log4j in version 1.2.15 (log4j-1.2.15.jar). Everything worked fine with KNIME 4.5 but KNIME 4.6 uses log4j in version 1.2.21 (reload4j-1.2.21.jar). To fix the issue I added 2 bundles:
Some highlights are swing support (used in geotools tutorials), swt, local and web process support, additional symbology, additional data formats, generation of grids and a couple of implementations of ISO Geometry.
You can also use the wkt epsg provider instead of the hsql one. However
it is more limited in terms of the transformations between coordinate
reference systems it provides. But if heavy reprojection is not a use
case for you then it should not be a problem.Assuming you are working with a geotools binary release simply remove
the gt-epsg-hsql*.jar from your classpath and make sure the
gt-epsg-wkt*.jar is around. And then try again.-Justin
