Hi Richard, you can use your own shapefiles, but the must have the same attributes as your basefeaturetype. The GeneralizationInfo.featureName is the same as if you would use the specific shape file directly. It is not obligatory to use the Toolbox.
Btw, using shape files has the big disadvantage that you have to duplicate all attribute values for each generalization. I am using DB2 (you can use postgis,oracle,..) to have one table with the the attribute values and a second with all the geometries (including the generalized geoms). I use SQL views to create a feature type for each generalization. No redundancy, good performance.
