on setting up your project with Maven see the Quickstart

This is a beta release made in conjunction with the GeoServer 2.3-beta1
(http://blog.geoserver.org/2013/01/29/geoserver-2-3-beta-released/). This
release is contains both new features and important simplifications to the
GeoTools API:
This release is feature complete and entering release candidate status next
month. This represents an important policy shift to a time-boxed release model
(http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Timed+Release) resulting in a new
release every six months. This policy shift provides consistency and will
assist in integration planning for the wider GeoTools community.
Feature Collection Clean up
(http://geotoolsnews.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/featurecollection-cleanup.html):
Has retired several methods from FeatureCollection that were only implemented
for in memory feature collections. This work also included a review of all
FeatureCollection implementation testing for consistency. Thanks to Jody
Garnett and Andrea Aime for this work.
The Vector Grid (http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Vector+grids) module
has graduated from the "unsupported" staging area and is now included as an
extension. Thanks to Micheal Bedward for championing this work.
General support for complex features has been factored out into the gt-complex
(http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Separate+general+complex+feature+classes+from+gt-app-schema)
module for reuse.
FeatureCollection, FeatureIteartor and FeatureReader are Java 7 ready with
support for try-with-resource syntax
(http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Java+7+try-with-resource+compatibility).
Partial 3D data support
(http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Partial+3D+data+support) has been
added with direct support for PostGIS, Oracle, and Property DataStore. Thanks
to Andrea Aime for the initial implementation, with a followup NT LPE
(http://www.dlp.nt.gov.au/) for Oracle support.
Thanks to Niels Charlier for putting together ReferenceEnvelope3D
(http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Support+for+three-dimensional+envelopes+and+bounding+box+filters)
allowing us to query three-dimensional datasets.
WMS client support has greatly improved with WMS 1.3.0 now enabled by default
during version negotiation.
New OGC models have been added for WCS 2.0
(https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-4333) and OWS 2.0
(https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-4332) along with XML support
(https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-4376).
Updated to latest ImageIO-Ext 1.1.6
(https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-4370) and JTS 1.13
(https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-4348) release
As this release contains API changes developers are encouraged to review the
upgrade instructions
(http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/welcome/upgrade.html) prior to use.
