Quickstart ========== Welcome to your first GeoTools project! We are going to set up a project using GeoTools to quickly display a shapefile on screen. This tutorial is available for: .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 eclipse netbeans intellij maven modules If you are interested in porting this tutorial to an additional IDE please :website:`contact us ` on the users list. **Notes and Errata** * If you're running under OS X you may run into an issue where the file chooser dialog never appears and the application hangs. This is a known issue with the native OS X Swing look and feel. As a workaround you can use the cross platform look and feel; either use the following static block in your files: .. code-block:: java static { // Set System L&F try { UIManager.setLookAndFeel( UIManager.getCrossPlatformLookAndFeelClassName()); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); System.exit(1); } } or run your applications with the following VM argument `-Dswing.defaultlaf=javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel` * At the time of writing the CRSLab application may fail if you try to change the projection a second time. There is no workaround or fix for this at the time.
