Hello, and sorry if this is a FAQ (I've checked and could not find any 
answer).

I'm trying to do a simple task: read and display a shapefile. I've been 
trying some combinations since this morning without any success so far.

I've tried the steps in 
http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/tutorial/quickstart/netbeans.html 
(without using maven, I've just added all .jars from the binary 
distribution to my project).
The source code in that example does not compile -- the error is
   method showMap in class org.geotools.swing.JMapFrame cannot be 
applied to given types;
   required: org.geotools.map.MapContext
   found: org.geotools.map.MapContent
   reason: actual argument org.geotools.map.MapContent cannot be 
converted to org.geotools.map.MapContext by method invocation conversion
for the line   JMapFrame.showMap(map);

Changing map to be an instance of MapContext compiles the code, but 
gives an
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
     at org.geotools.swing.JMapPane.setTransforms(JMapPane.java:1114)
for all shapefiles I've tried.

Is there any Geotools version where we can display a shape file without 
too much hassle? I'm not exactly a Java newbie, but am puzzled: there 
are variations of this example but none work (with all combinations of 
versions I've tried).

thanks
Rafael
