This worked!  Thanks, Michael.

I had to make a few minor changes to the file.
1: package org.geotools.demo.example;
28:     File file = promptShapeFile(args);

Then everything worked fine.

One more thing about javadocs- I tried to look up the javadocs for the getLength method because I wasn't sure what this was calculating when I put in a polygon shapefile. My NetBeans/mvn did not provide the javadocs for this method, although other geometry methods are documented. I can find javadocs for this method on the internet (version 1.7). From there I find
Returns the length of this Geometry. Linear geometries return their length. Areal geometries return their perimeter. They override this function to compute the area. Others return 0.0
which tells me I am getting perimeter (although "They override this function to compute the area" is a little obscure).
But I am wondering why I can't see this in my IDE?

I think the problem is that Netbeans 6.1 sets Java 1.4 as the default
when creating / opening a maven project.

In Project window, right click on the project element, then select
Sources in the list on the RHS of the dialog, then at bottom left of
dialog there should be a pull-down list called 'Source / Binary
Format' where you can change the version.

I forget this every time until I do the first build :)

Michael

ps. I'll check to see if I put anything about that on the netbeans wiki page

I was able to go throught the steps and confirm; I added a section at
the top of the "First Project" page asking people to run ...

mvn -version

And confirm what version of Java they were using on the command line there.
