And just to say that I think that once you embrace Maven (and the simplicity it 
provides in terms of management), you almost certainly want to start using it 
for most things. To begin with, the step to Maven might seem hard and there is 
the worry about how to discover parts of the GeoTools and other things you 
might want without having the normal ways you explore for java functionality 
available, but the tutorials are a good place to start getting to grips with 
the core of things and I would like to support Ian by saying that I agree that 
it is the best way forward for you. Please though, if you do go the other way 
and get it working, then perhaps you can fix it for others that are adamant 
that the go follow that non-maven path.

All the best and please stick with GeoTools.

I did start on rewriting these but got distracted by writing code :-)

The issue is hard to fix as no one ever gets back to us with a definite fix, my 
suspicion is that it is to do with having too many epsg jars on your class 
path; but I've not ever spent the time proving it.

There is no real excuse for not using maven with eclipse these days - it's 
built in and all you say is import maven project and away you go. 
While we could molly-coddle beginners through the quick start with out it there 
is really no way to proceed beyond it with out using Maven.

But if you find out what the issue is exactly I'll finish updating the tutorial 
- other wise we should probably take out the final section that gives people 
the idea that maven is optional.

Ian
