Description

sernetcdf contains only two classes plus unit tests. It's under a Apache license.

 

We could merge the code into Sedona and drop the dependency. This would have several benefits:

• sernetcdf is a shaded jar which bundles outdated versions of several libraries. The shading makes it impossible for Sedona to control its dependency graph. Removing the shaded jar would allow folding of ST_AsEWKB and ST_AsBinary. See https://github.com/apache/incubator-sedona/pull/704
• sernetcdf is not under Apache guidance regarding maintenance, releases and other processes. Issues in the code would be easier to fix if it's maintained by the Sedona community.
