Does exist a package manager ala easy_install (Python) for Java?
I'm looking for a solution usable from the command line and not from an Ide.

A: 

Ivy from Apache is the closest thing I know of.

+1  A: 

Maven does provide dependency management based on remote repositories (like the central repo) that are browsable, searchable.

Maven Ant Tasks use Maven's repositories to provide dependency management and more to Ant builds.

Ant Ivy is another alternative to Maven Ant Tasks.

MOP is another command line tool that leverages Maven's repository and dependencies.

@systempuntoout Tried, yes. Used regularly, no. I actually work mostly with server sides apps and I do almost everything with Maven.
Pascal Thivent
Maven or Maven2?
systempuntoout
@systempuntoout Maven 2, of course :)
