Hi,

The EPSG registry has this note about Robinson's and similar 'atlas'
projections, which I guess includes Wikel Tripel...

"Atlas" projection methods not to be included in EPSG db unless
utilised for a CRS that itself is in use by several parties or used in
data exchange.

It is possible to add custom projections to GeoTools but it's a fair
bit of work and if you only have a small number of maps to do it's
probably not worth the effort.  An easier solution might be to just
hand code the lat-lon to Winkel-Tripel transform (the formula looks
simple enough: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winkel_Tripel) and
"manually" transform your feature coordinates.

A quick google shows that WT is implemented in the PROJ4 projection
library. One Java wrapper for this is here...

If you're ambitious and you do want to try adding the projection there
are some notes here:

> Aside from that main issue, I have a minor question about the documentation
> at http://javadoc.geotools.fr/snapshot/ where I notice that under
> SimpleFeature it says that the class is deprecated and to use...
> SimpleFeature. Is this some oversight?

That's an old site - I wish it would go away :-)

The comment about SimpleFeature referred to identically named classes
in different packages/libraries.

You can find the javadocs for GeoTools version 2.6 here:
http://geotools.org/javadocs

Hope this helps.
