Sorry for the delay; I'm just back to an internet connection.

The old MapPane was build on top of "J2D-Renderer", a quite sophesticated 
renderer engine with a lot of optimisation. The code was probably ten time 
bigger than JMapPane. Unfortunatly, it was build on legacy Coordinate 
Transformation Service (CTS) and Grid Coverage (GC) implementations. I was 
suppose to port them to the new CRS and GridCoverage implementations, but never 
had the time. A few months ago, the Geotools PMC decided to delete the legacy 
CTS and GC implementations; it was the gt2-legacy module. As a consequence, it 
was not possible to compile the old MapPane anymore.

A new implementation is under way in the GO-1 module:

but we are facing the same problem: I'm missing time for this work (already 
busy 
with other Geotools issues), and this work is quite hard to split among many 
contributors since this renderer is non-trivial...
