Maybe i am to blind ;-) Not blind - just unfamiliar with what to look for. We all start out like that. I still have a great many blind spots :) > In detail how to build afeaturetype from jtsgeometry (and otherwise)! > > May you can help me out again? In brief, you can create a feature type by using a builder class (SimpleFeatureTypeBuilder) to combine the following... - a geometry class - a coordinate reference system (optional) - one or more additional attributes (e.g. name, integer id) Near the end of the CSV 2 SHP Lab page you can see an example of building a feature type for point features (JTS Point class) using SimpleFeatureTypeBuilder: http://geotools.org/examples/csv2shp.html#another-way-to-build-a-simplefeaturetype For more background on the concepts please see this workbook that goes into the CSV 2 SHP Lab in more detail. In particular, Section 4 of the workbook explains how feature types and geometries fit together. http://snapshots.dist.codehaus.org/geotools/workshop/FeatureWorkbook.pdf Finally, most people find that the best way to learn GeoTools is by doing rather than just reading. If you work through the example pages in order you will get quite a good overview of the library and many of the important concepts. Hope this helps.
