title: Displaying location on a world map
body: <p>I am working on a Java desktop application. In this project I want to highlight some location on a world map. These locations are stored in a database. I have found a link to <a href="http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2007/10/30/building-maps-into-swing-app-with-jxmapviewer.html" rel="nofollow">Building Maps into Your Swing Application with the JXMapViewer</a>,
  but I'm still not finding the proper way to do this. Can anyone can give me some ideas.</p>
