Hi, Geotools seems to be a very powerful and fancy Java library :) However, getting started with it does not seem such an easy task.. So, I'm posting here in the hope someone will have time to give me some guidelines.
Here's what I need to do : - Have Geotools display a map (of the world if possible, but I'll revert to Canada if it's too hard to find such a map). I should be able to get the ESRI shapefile for Canada, but any indication about how to get maps under other formats is welcome. I'm actually looking for something nice-looking, that's pretty much all I'm interested in, whatever it displays... - On the map, I'd like to draw points for some latitude longitude. I'm not interested in any zooming or any complicated feature. just basic display. So, this use of Geotools seems to be very basic compared to everythign it can do, however I don't seem to get a clear indication of how to achieve this : - Which jars do I need ? (there are 30 or 40 jars in the binary distribution, I don't think all of them are necessary, right ?) - how to embed a simple map inside a JFrame ?
