As far as I can tell the only good java on windows CE these days comes
from IBM; this will add some cost to your deployment of your app.

See above; IBM seems to be the only game in town.

The last version of GeoTools that support Java 1.4 is 2.4.x -

Any IDE will be fine - I recommend Eclipse and NetBeans or XCode (or
emacs and the command line)

The devise specs are fine; check what version of Java you can find -
also check out the the other open source mobile projects (for example
http://www.openmobileis.org/
);

Shapefile is actually a small cluster of files; including an index
that trades disk space for speed. I recently was working a with
putting tile cache content on a mobile device and ran into an upper
limit of the number of files it could hold.
