Hi Andrea, Perhaps it doesn't need any tinkering to do what Hendrik needs because there is already a shapeToGeometry method in the JTS utility class.
But after saying that, it does seem a bit odd to have GeodeticCalculator spitting out Shapes. I guess this reflected some (common ?) use case but wouldn't it be more natural for it to return an array or List of Point2Ds or DirectPositions ?
