Moving the conversation to the user list (we tend to keep geotools-devel
for those working on the library).

The answer is it depends on what your source data can provide, some of the
JDBC DataStores can provide Date, UUID and other types.

For Shapefile you best look at the source code to see what it supports ...
shapefile saves attributes into a DBF so
DbaseFileHeader.java<https://github.com/geotools/geotools/blob/master/modules/plugin/shapefile/src/main/java/org/geotools/data/shapefile/dbf/DbaseFileHeader.java>would
be about right.

There is a getFieldClass method with
javadocs<http://docs.geotools.org/latest/javadocs/org/geotools/data/shapefile/dbf/DbaseFileHeader.html#getFieldClass(int)>describing
what is available.
