Narrative:

I was on a VFR flight from ocean city (26N) to essex county (cdw). I was under advisories with atlantic city followed by mcguire. Mcguire was unable to hand me off to new york and told me to squawk 1200. Southeast of morristown, I descended to 1800 ft and observed an aircraft to my left descending to the east. I observed the aircraft for at least 2 mins. He passed in front of me by 1/2 mi and 250 ft above me. This area is very familiar to me having been based at morristown and caldwell for 21 yrs. I called caldwell tower about 12 mi out. My GPS moving map indicated I was on the east side edge of morristown airspace. I made a normal landing at caldwell. Upon exiting the runway, ground control advised me that ATC had reported a near miss with a commuter landing at ewr and I had violated morristown airspace. I am very familiar with the crowded airspace in this area and spend my time looking out the windshield. I was below class B airspace and clear of morristown airspace and did not consider this a near miss as no evasive action was necessary.
