I read in the list (or somewhere else, I can't remember) that ECW support for GeoServer is under development.
We are currently trying to develop a Geomedia DataStore for GeoTools and need ECW support in this context.
We tried to use the official ERMapper Java SDK: it does its work, but suffers from many memory leaks that in the long term shutdown geoserver due to OutOfMemory Exceptions.
Then we tried to use the gvSig updated version of the SDK, which seems to solve memory leaks problems, but is very unstable inside GeoServer (the JVM itself crashes very often during JNI calls).
I read that you're including ECW support through GDAL. Is there any code available that I can try to use inside my DataStore?
Thanks in advance,
