I have been getting a couple of complaints for posting busted links to email ... our geotools DNS entry is still down.
The main page used to have instructions on how to hack this - here is a temporary main page:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Home
And here is a link on how to hack your box as a temporary measure:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/2004/12/13/svn.geotools.org+workarounds
I will repost the news item so it gets back on the main page.
