I'm looking for a stanadlone application, script or library (better Java) to generate cab files on Linux.
A:
May I ask which distribution you are using?
If you are using Ubuntu, the package cabextract can read and extract a .cab file while the pacakge lcab lets you create one.
You may install the lcab package via the apt-get install command:
sudo apt-get install lcabYou may search the packages you want at Ubuntu Packages Search.
Please let me know if you are not using Ubuntu.

[Here](http://www.cabextract.org.uk/) is the official site of `cabextract`. You may find `.deb` (Debian / Ubuntu), `.rpm` (Redhat / Fedora / CentOS) as well as `.pkg` (Solaris) packages there. Alternatively, you may use the `yum install cabextract` command to install `cabextract` on Radhat too. You may find `lcab` [here](http://freshmeat.net/projects/lcab/). As far as I know, there is no Redhat / Solaris package for it. But since it says it's POSIX compatible, you should be able to compile it as usual.
