Hello Kakpo, I'll attempt to answer some of your questions...
> a) What Geotools version should we currently have to use? 2.7 or 8. series? If you are starting a new project I would recommend that you use GeoTools 8. This is especially true if you are relatively new to GeoTools since the tutorials and other docs are written against GeoTools 8. > b) I currently use Netbeans IDE. Is Netbeans capable of working with all > geotools features? Or do have to migrate to Eclipse? I use NetBeans with GeoTools. It is highly recommended to use Maven as your build tool for GeoTools projects and NetBeans/Maven integration is very good. > c) Why are certain packages not part of the program we download > from http://sourceforge.net/projects/geotools/files/ For example: > org.geotools.gui.swing.legend That package is from a very old version. > d) How do I add JPanel, JButton, JLabel components to a JMapFrame? You are probably better off studying the JMapFrame source (it is just a JFrame really) and using it as the starting point of your own class. > e) How do I add JMapFrame or JMapPane to a blank JFrame or an > already designed JFrame? A JMapPane is just a JPanel. You can drop it into a frame or other container in the way that you would with any other Swing component. Hope this helps.
