Try Geotools, it has a good API and tools for geospatial data.

You could use this mappanel in Swing:

http://mappanel.sourceforge.net/

This is completely open source.

together with openstreetmap.org maps.

Hi Chris, Thx for your reply, could you give me any information about whether this library can work offline? – ibrahimyilmaz Mar 07 '11 at 10:04
I dont think that you can use this offline as it is. But OpenStreetmap uses a tileserver which is used by this library. So i'm sure you could (with not too much afford) implement some kind of offline TileServer class or something like that. – Chris Mar 07 '11 at 10:33
