Perl is undermining my java development

[Vincent Stoessel <vi...@xaymaca.com>]

Hi,
I love tomcat and I want to thank everyone who has been involved
with great project. I recently started designing a project that was 
going to done in tomcat and maybe jboss (been itching to do EJB 
programming) but when the project deadline was moved up I found myself
slipping back into my old PERL ways. CPAN is to blame.
There a module for every part of the puzzle that I needed to solve.
dynamic PDF? OK dynamic Excel? OK , parse a fixed length record just 
like any other perl DBI source? OK.
ugh.
What I would like to know is this: Is there or are there any plans to 
create a "CPAN" like repository of standard code, that any developer
can use for free? It doesn't even have to be for all java programs.
A repository of server-side java stuff (servlets, jsp, taglibs,ejb) 
would be great.

The main hurdle to a java "CPAN" the prorietory nature of java?
Thanks.
