required artifacts are missing

[djrenz]

I am new to GeoTools and java.

I have been working with ArcObjects and C# for a very long time,
but would like to start digging in to GeoTools.

I downloaded GeoTools 2.4-M2.
I am using NetBeans 6.1.

When i try to create the demo apps (http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/Welcome+to+NetBeans+developers)
I keep getting some build errors.

I am hoping that someone can point in the correct direction so that i can run the demo apps.
I am not sure if this is because i have setup the project incorrectly or i have missing libraries, or something
else.
