This is an introductory demonstration of the Geotools code library. 

The demo opens a window with a series of buttons on the left hand side. Pushing 
each highlighted button in turn will step through the demonstration.

The gui can be run from this directory, as follows:
  (Assume an SVN checkout where trunk/gt/ is at $GEOTOOLS_ROOT)
Because Geotools is built with maven, we only need one jar in the classpath and 
java will find all the other classes AS LONG AS they are in jars in the same 
directory, in this example $GEOTOOLS_ROOT/target

java -classpath $GEOTOOLS_ROOT/target/gt2-demo-introduction-2.3-SNAPSHOT.jar \       
                                   org.geotools.demo.introduction.QuickStartGUI

Known isssues:
* Buttons are not all the same size
* Text area doesn't scroll as new text is added
* Countries.sld looks for a font that doesn't necessarily exist
* Projection doesn't work
* Lots of rountines are missing; some buttons do nothing.
