For the Eclipse IP review: the tools, Accumulo and HBase JARs that GeoWave publishes each bundled 1,746 GeoServer classes. GeoServer is GPL-2.0, and gs-main / gs-ows are GPL-2.0-only and restricted in Eclipse IP review. They got in because the vector and raster adapters depended on gs-wms-core at compile scope, solely for distributed rendering.

Distributed rendering never ran through GeoServer. Since it was introduced, DistributedRenderCallback has checked style instanceof ProcessFunction on a FeatureTypeStyle, which is never true, so the DistributedRender SLD always rendered as an ordinary style inside GeoServer. Correcting that check exposed two further failures: the deregistered internal process factory, then GeoServer not finding internal:InternalDistributedRender. The maintainer decided to remove the feature rather than repair it.

Changes

• Removed:
  • the adapter/vector/render package and its test, DistributedRenderProcess, InternalProcessFactory, DistributedRenderProcessUtils, org.geotools.renderer.lite.DistributedRenderer, and applicationContext.xml, whose only bean was the getMapCallback;
  • the render paths in GeoWaveFeatureCollection and GeoWaveFeatureReader, and the reference in GeoWaveGSProcessFactory;
  • both DistributedRender SLDs and GeoServerIngestIT's distributed-render tile check. Its other WMS checks stay.
• Persistable IDs 509-513 and 521 are retired, not reused, each with a comment in FeatureAdapterPersistableRegistry.
• GeoServer leaves the build. gs-wms-core is gone from the vector and raster adapters, as are the analytics API's exclusions and all gs-* entries in the root POM. The only GeoServer left is the integration-test harness's gs-web-app WAR in test/pom.xml.
  • gt-process-feature, which arrived through GeoServer, is now explicit, because DecimationProcess uses it.
  • cyclops is dropped, because only the render aggregation used it.
• Guards:
  • the shaded tools, Accumulo and HBase JARs exclude org.geoserver*:*;
  • .utility/publish-release-binaries.sh refuses to publish a JAR containing org/geoserver or org/vfny.
• Version pins:
  • tika-core is pinned at 3.3.2, because s3fs-nio's 2.9.2 is affected by CVE-2025-66516;
  • gt-epsg-hsql is excluded from gt-netcdf.
• Migration notes: the removal, and what the tools, Accumulo and HBase JARs no longer bundle. Besides GeoServer, that includes Spring, Spring Security, httpclient5, xstream and freemarker.

Verification (JDK 21, local)

• Full clean build with formatter validation and SpotBugs (0 bugs in 47 modules). 754 unit tests; the only errors are the 2 known embedded-Redis ones on Apple Silicon. PersistableRegistryTest passes 2/2.
• JAR contents, master → this branch:

JAR	org/geoserver	org/vfny
tools	1,746 → 0	111 → 0
Accumulo	1,746 → 0	111 → 0
HBase	1,746 → 0	111 → 0
GeoServer plugin	0 → 0	0 → 0

• ITs:
  • accumulo-it-server: 168 run, 0 failures.
  • hbase-it-server: 160 run, 0 failures.
  • GeoServerIngestIT and GeoServerIT under filesystem-it: 24 run, 0 failures.
• geowave gs run with the GeoServer 3.0.1 WAR:
  • a filesystem store with 361 points;
  • WMS GetMap with an ordinary style returned the correct PNG;
  • WFS GetFeature returned 361 features;
  • no class-loading errors.

Eclipse IP

DEPENDENCIES: 805 → 716 entries, 0 restricted. No gs-* remains.

• 7 of the 18 previously restricted entries left with the removed dependencies.
• The IP team approved the other 11 since the file was last generated.

IP Check and Python Tests will fail here until #1998 merges; the runner's newer Maven rejects docs/pom.xml.
