Re: [Geotools-gt2-users] Eclipse Quick Start Guide Fails!!!

[Michael D. <mdu...@gm...>]

Thx for the quick response.  Again, apologies for the rant.

We have an existing project that does not use Maven so we should be able to
integrate the GeoTools jar files into that project.  We just want to create
some shape files.

I suspect that others who are new to GeoTools do what I did as a test:
 Create a new project, add the GeoTools jars to the Java Build Path
(eliminating those in the Quick Start Guide) and then creating a Java class
with a main method that includes code from your Feature Tutorial.

This process takes about fifteen minutes (I have done it three times) .  I
suspect there is some sort of error caused by identical resource names.
The stack trace is not that clear:
