http://jpackage.org is a Linux centric repository of Java libraries.

Thousands of Java libraries are painstakingly packaged into neat .RPMs 
(for Fedora) or .debs (for Debian).  By adding a few urls to your yum 
(Fedora) or apt (Debian) configuration file, you gain the ability of 
obtaining any one of them (along with their transitive dependencies) 
with a simple command like

   yum install rhino

or

   apt-get install piccolo

Very convenient.  Too bad there isn't a tool like Apt or Yum for Windows 
or Mac OS X.
