I don't believe that's true. You can check the jar file, there are
more than meteo icons in there. Not all of the icons have all of the
options available (as provided in the SymbolChooser).

The jar file contains the pngs created from the SVG files that were
available from DISA a while ago. I understand that DISA has released
new SVG files, which can be used directly after a little manipulation
- they need to be flattened into one directory, their file names need
to be modified slightly so they have their symbol code as name, and
the XML needs to be fixed in them (there is a " missing). I was able
to do this batch-wise a while ago.
I expect the PNG jar will be updated when we get a chance.

GSD is the organization responsible for symbology. I don't
understand what you mean by a utility.
