Here I post a sample Java class I developed some months ago, working with geometry creation in GeoTools 2. This class, given an input Shapefile, will elaborate an output shapefile merging the input polygons on a common field.Geotools is an open source (LGPL) Java code library which provides standards compliant methods for the manipulation of geospatial data, for example to implement Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
