Hi,
As you might have seen from my previous question.
I'm not that used to Java.
When working with perl I always used CPANhttp://www.cpan.org/(a rather
huge online archive of perl modules developed by the perl community) and
was searching for preexisting modules there.
Is there anything similiar in the java community?
thanks in advance for any pointers

ASAIK, there is not. However, I should point that the standard jdk
distribution is quite large and you probably can find what you're
looking. Also, the most used third party open source developments for
java are truly massive compared to perl's. The majority of the most
used open source libraries in Java are kind of hard to classify, have
project names (like perl language extensions), and often perform a
couple of different tasks.
There are also a huge amount of closed source libraries; e.g. IBM can
fill several CDs with ready to use closed source APIs that only exist
in Websphere World.
My local maven repo is 673M, and I'm only working with it for about 3
months!. The main maven repo is at http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/ (I
usually find out there is not enough software there), which will give
you a familiar sense of browsing perl modules... but not quite. Maybe
http://www.mvnrepository.com/ can replace some of your accustomed cpan
searching.
hope it helps
