Every time I need to do something that is not easy with features I have 
put a method in DataUtilities:
http://udig.refractions.net/docs/api-geotools/org/geotools/data/DataUtilities.html#collection(org.geotools.feature.Feature[])

Not the best but it will get you going.

Here is a more happy way:
- 
http://udig.refractions.net/docs/api-geotools/org/geotools/feature/DefaultFeatureCollections.html#createCollection(java.lang.String,%20org.geotools.feature.FeatureType)

Happy hacking,
