Yes Frank, This is exactly where I am.
I got GeoTools to interpret a generic TYPE in a CSV file and generate shapefiles (this is a starters tutorial...) Now I want to move from a generic TYPE to a GeoJSON grammar interpreter that would input into the GeoTools shapefile facility. I just didn't want to reinvent the wheel if it was already out there... Thanks for your attention Frank, if you don't know it, maybe there isn't any and it would be a good project to start...

Jose, I would suggest looking at GeoTools. It has at least good shapefile code. It may also have GeoJSON support. If not, you might have to implement that part yourself.
