I am just getting started with GeoTools and GIS in general. My background is that of a java developer. So forgive me if my questions seem ignorant, but I am looking for some guidance.
So far I have managed to convert vmap0 data into ESRI shape files and to display those by adapting the Spearfish example. So I have a nice little map of the world. My next step would be to make the map a little prettier by giving all the countries a different colour and displaying the names of the countries. What I am also wondering about are projections. I am not sure what projection my map is using, but I would like to experiment with different projections. So far I have found some documentation about creating a custom projection, but no information about applying a projection to a displayed map. Are there some examples available, or could somebody describe the concrete (small) steps how to achieve this?
