I think it's mostly down to the fact that you don't have a central repository like CPAN for Perl. There is a lot free java software, but it's extremely disparately strewn across the Internet.

There are a couple of good places to start though: apache; codehaus; sourceforge.

And of course JPackage for RPM based distros.
