Taking your discussion to the GeoTools user list (as the devel list is
focused on folks working on the geotools codebase itself).

The GeoTools module system is described here:
http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/welcome/architecture.html

The core library is broken down in to modules, so you only need to use as
much of the library as appropriate for your application. So if you are only
doing analysis you do not need to install the gt-renderer jar.

The core library makes use of plugins and you get to choose which plugins
to install. So if you do not need shape file support their is no need to
install gt-shapefile.

Sometimes we have multiple plugins which provide the same service (with
different implementations) and you will need to choose which one you want
to use. As an example we recommend gt-epsg-hsql for example, but if you had
a shared EPSG database installed on PostgreSQL you could use
gt-epsg-postgresql instead.

GeoTools is best used by a system such as maven that can manage jars for
you as described in the tutorials.
