Here are some directions for setting up an eclipse project: - http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/Welcome+to+Eclipse+Developers Please note that the instructions here: - http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/04+How+to+Read+a+Shapefile They tell you how to use maven to figure out what jars are needed (you only need to run it once from the command line to get the list); they also provide a website link so you can figure out what jars are needed.
