I'm trying to get to work the GeoTools quickstart tutorial. I've downloaded a map from http://www.naturalearthdata.com.
The file is:
This is not exactly the file linked in the tutorial because that seems to be a dead link, resulting in a 404 Not Found. However since the one I've choosen is from the same site I hope that it's correct.
All the tutorial is a static main method with the following code.
File file = JFileDataStoreChooser.showOpenFile("shp", new File("."), null);
FileDataStore store = FileDataStoreFinder.getDataStore(file);
SimpleFeatureSource featureSource = store.getFeatureSource();
// Create a map content and add our shapefile to it
MapContent map = new MapContent();
map.setTitle("Quickstart");
Style style = SLD.createSimpleStyle(featureSource.getSchema());
Layer layer = new FeatureLayer(featureSource, style);
map.addLayer(layer);
// Now display the map
JMapFrame.showMap(map);
when i run it and select the shp file (extracted from the download), after a few seconds i get the following exception:
SEVERE: Invalid empty measure '', was expecting a number, eventually followed by px, m or ft
In debug i see that is thrown by the line:
JMapFrame.showMap(map);
How can I fix this?
I had the same error. Don't know why but it works for me using version 10-SNAPSHOT from the snapshot repository
