Hi,

I'm very new to GeoTools and am struggling with dealing with CRS's.  I have
a shapefile in StatePlane format and would like to work with the data in
WGS84 lat/long format.  Currently I go to the EPSG website, look in the
database for a name that matches the one in my .prj file (which is a little
tricky because there's more than one seemingly good match with only small
differences between them), and then manually enter the CRS code into my
program, such as: sourceCRS = CRS.decode("EPSG:####").  Is there a more
automatic way to do this?  Can the shapefile reader look in the .prj file
and the GeoTools supplied CRS database and determine the best match
automatically?

Thanks for your advice,
Mark
