Once you've got netbeans / maven / geotools set up on your system you'll find that there is quite a lot of information available to help you...
The user manual is a great place to start (note: it is being written for geotools 2.5 but you'll still find it very useful when working with 2.4) http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/Home If you download the geotools source as we discussed then you can examine the code of the demo programs (in the demo directory). You can search the archives of this mailing list - you'll often find answers to your questions that way: http://www.nabble.com/geotools-gt2-users-f4263.html Of course there is always Google :) The geotools javadocs can be a bit confusing when you're starting out because there are many classes that you will probably never use directly, but if you keep that in mind and use them to understand classes that appear in demo programs, the user guide etc. the docs are invaluable. Once you start getting the hang of things you will also find that the source code for the unit test modules that accompany most of the geotools classes is a rich source of examples. I haven't been using geotools for very long myself so I certainly not the right person to write tutorials yet ! But the above source of info, as well as this list, have been a big help for me.
