[Geotools-gt2-users] Updates to the user's guide?

[Nair, H. <Har...@jh...>]

I just started with geotools yesterday, and I'm having trouble with the
"Reading a shapefile" example in the user's guide.

Here are a few problems:

1) The repository locations don't seem to be correct.  Ibiblio and
repo1.maven.org don't have org.geotools directories.

2) The artifactId's in the pom.xml file are given as gt2-*, but the 2.5
release only has gt-*, right?  There are no 2.5-M3 directories in the
repositories for gt2-*.

3) The example itself has errors in eclipse.  Specifically,
 Geometry geometry = feature.getDefaultGeometry();
is not legal.  There are warnings for the usage of Map and the Feature
objects.

Are there significant updates needed to this example to get it to work with
2.5-M3?

Ultimately, I want to be able to read shapefiles and reproject them from
lon/lat to pixel coordinates to overlay on a polar stereographic map.  I
already have the reprojection code written in Java so I wanted java code to
read shapefiles.

Thanks,
Hari
