Is the JTS variant of GeoTools' GeometryBuilder (org.geotools.geometry.jts.GeometryBuilder) thread safe? It's unclear from the documentation although the non-JTS GeometryBuilder does hint that it's not thread safe.

The main advantage a "builder" has over a factory is that it does not have to be thread safe and can hold state in order to make your job easier.

If it says "it does not have to be thread safe" then assume it isn't. – Andy Turner Dec 01 '16 at 17:22
That's for `org.geotools.geometry.GeometryBuilder`, `org.geotools.geometry.jts.GeometryBuilder` makes no such assertion – Steve Kuo Dec 01 '16 at 17:27

you'd need to check the code to be sure, but probably. – Ian Turton Dec 02 '16 at 16:03
