[OpenLayers-Users] Converting LatLng coordinates to point shapefile.

[Alessandro Ferrucci]

I would use GEOTOOLS to read those coordinates, reproject them (if needed)
and write them to a shapefile.  GEOTOOLS has everything you would need to do
that job and it's actually a fairly simple program to write using GEOTOOLS.
If you need pointers/help in getting started with GEOTOOLS I'm more than
willing to help you if you want.
Thank you,
Alessandro Ferrucci
