How to add Opencarto to a Geotools project?

Question

I've installed geotools through maven (and m2ecplise) but i'm not able to add opencarto library to my project. (As you can guess, I'm new to java)

I tried by adding opencarto's main folder as library through the Project panel, but still, maven is not proposing me opencarto as dependency when I try to find it.

Any idea of what i'm doing wrong?

(this is probably a question for you Julien. I sent you a mail through sourceforge. I'm not sure you got it ... anyway, it's a good thing to make noise around opencarto since it seems very interesting!)

Thank you

Maven can only handle libraries that are deployed on a maven repository, and Opencarto is not deployed anywhere, so you cannot get it with maven. To use it, you may use one of these methods:

1. you download an opencarto jar from there and include it in your eclipse project (you also need jts, xstream and xpp3_min)

2. you checkout the snapshot version of opencarto from the SVN as a new eclipse project, and add this project to your project's build path.

Good luck! (and thanks for using my lib - you are the first!)
