At the bottom of that page it shows you want GeoTools jars you need to work with shapefiles. You can download the bin release and dump them all into your IDK but maven hassle. When you get there - here is how you can create a new DataStore file: - http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/04+How+to+Create+a+DataStore Here is how you can create a FeatureType quickly. - http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/01+DataUtilities+Utility+Class FeatureType has a create method that you can use to make new features: - http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/07+FeatureType You can add those to a FeatureCollection: - http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/08+FeatureCollection And then use a FeatureStore addFeatures method to write them out to your shapefile: - http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/07+FeatureStore I would not mind using your use case as an example tutorial - but I am booked up today. Would you have time to join me on IRC tomorrow? If not just get on IRC and ask people questions.
