Hi Nicolas,

There are three answers to your question, and one observation:
1. GeoTools Manual
http://www.geotools.fr/manual/geotools.xhtml
This is a work in progress, it is intended to introduce the concepts and=20
the code.

2. GeoTools User Guide (Actually a reference)
- http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/Home
- http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/01+FeatureCollection+Iterator
This is also a work in progress, more limited to examples for using each=20
of the modules. Background knowledge is assumed to come from reading=20
specifications.

3. Specifications
The GeoTools library does its best to follow OGC and ISO specifications=20
to the letter; if you have questions about the intent of any of the=20
interfaces you may do well to consult the specifications they are=20
referring to. This will help uncover what Filter (needed for your=20
example) is all about.

The observation is that GeoTools is a library (focused on implementing=20
GIS concepts); making an application where you can display and then=20
select features is your task :-)  You can use=20
http://udig.refractions.net/ as a starting point, or make use of the toy=20
swing app provided with the GeoTools example code (called JMapPane).

All the best,
Jody
