If the FeatureType has a String attribute it tries to make a field
that has a limit of Integer.MAX_VALUE. Which postgis doesn't
like. But you can play with this functionality:
1. Import your Postgis into the catalog
2. Select the Postgis service (not GeoResource) in the catalog
3. Right click Select Operations>Create Feature Type
Voila a new feature type is created. Add it to a map and start
editing.
The other trick would be to copy and paste the content over from the
shapefile; something covered in walkthough 2 if I remember
correctly? Your request to create and populate a postgis table in
one go is a good one; it is not the kind of thing I would like to do
as a drag and drop operation; any suggestions for how to make this
available in the user interface? Perhaps an export wizard...

To copy and paste you have to have a destination layer so you have to
perform my workflow first. Then you can copy and paste features over.
