The JTS plugin could be upgraded to 1.18.1.
Make sure the ImportImagePlugin plugin is upgraded to use GeoTools version 25.0

The attached patch does the following:

• Convert geotools to ivy
  • ivy ignores the following packages:
    • org=javax.xml.bind with modules jaxb-api, jaxb-runtime which come from the jaxb plugin
    • org=com.github.spotbugs
    • org=org.geotools.demo
    • org=org.geotools with module gt-imagemosaic (was not added in 22.0 version)
    • org=org.locationtech.jts module=jts-core (jts plugin)
    • org=org.locationtech.jts.io module=jts-io-common (jts plugin)
    • org=org.ejml (ejml plugin)
    • Various items that are in the apache-commons plugin
• Deletes the lib directory

The patch is currently WIP since I haven't (yet) cleaned out everything that is unnecessary. The old geotools jar was 14M, and the new one is 25M.

Additional excludes for ivy

[taylor.smock]

In attachment:20669.2.patch​, the following packages were excluded:

• Guava (was also excluded for 22.0)
• Hatbox (was also excluded for 22.0)
• imageio-ext-cog-reader (was not present in 22.0, excluded due to dependency on ehcache, 1.6M)
• org.eclipse.emf (was not present in 22.0, excluded due to core being 1.3M)

Altogether, the changes reduced the jar file size from 26M to 18M (3M larger geotools at 22.0). I do need to load up the plugins that depend upon geotools, and see what happens, but I think I'll be able to move this from WIP PATCH to PATCH status.
