I'm sorry, but using GeoTools without Maven is almost certain to lead
to problems because of the complex graph of dependencies involved. You
will find many messages in the list archive where people have tried to
avoid Maven and eventually given up.

If you definitely can't, or won't, use Maven I recommend that you look
at another framework such as OpenJUMP which uses Ant as its build
tool:

If you are writing desktop programs to read/write shapefiles, GeoTools
is all you need. Information about GeoServer (which is built on
GeoTools) can be found at geoserver.org
