Brian Ghigiarelli,
I'm also finding it very difficult to learn GeoTools. The API is not easy and the documentation is incomplete and confusing. To create a single point on the map with an icon is very complex! As a user will be able to learn alone without good documentation it needs to use GeometryFactory, SimpleFeatureBuilder, DataUtilities, SimpleFeature, FeatureCollection to create a point. Not to mention the complexity to create a style to the point! To show this simple point remains: an object MapLayer and add it to an object MapContext? I spent days to understand how to create and display a point! Because so many objects to create a point on the map? I do not understand. I would not say it, but I'm also searching other libraries for GIS. I'm still trying to use GeoTools in my application, but do not want to spend several months to make things simple. I have deadlines to deliver the results of my work! I know GeoTools developers had much work to get here, but I hope that my criticisms are meant as an alert.
