Side question: is there a CPAN or Gems repository for similar open-source Java libraries? I know that Apache has lots of Java libs, but beyond that, I have no

  Look into Maven.

    From what I understand, Maven is a build dependency manager, but not a package manager the way CPAN is. I'm looking for a central place to find packages that do everything. "ohh you need to interact with AWS, here's the package" type stuff.

      There's a bunch of maven repositories (usually googling '+"library name" +"maven" +"pom.xml" works), but I haven't yet found anything like CPAN's search website. mvn:create can bring up an interface that's very smilar to CPAN's shell. What needs to be done is a shell that allows functionality such as "search /amazon/" or "search guice, jersey" or "info google-collections". Scala would be a great choice to make sort of a "REPL" shell :-)

        best way to find maven repo info for open source java stuff, that I know of, is with http://repository.sonatype.org/ http://repository.sonatype.org/

      Heh - I'm working on building such a monster now. :) Until mine is ready, you can try mvnrepository.com. The reason that I'm building my own is because mvnrepository.com is often down, slow, and is not very easy to use. But it's there until I'm finished with mine!

    If you install Maven support for Eclipse, you get a Maven search engine: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/M2ECLIPSE/Quick+Search http://docs.codehaus.org/display/M2ECLIPSE/Quick+Search Here's a big list of mavenized projects: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/ http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/
