No.

Where are the plethora of libraries for Erlang that Java enjoy?

Java is great because you can stand of shoulders of people releasing brilliant libraries.

Who cares about Availability, Performance, Scalability ... if you can't ship?

This says so much about why the world of enterprise java is a complete pile of shit that I just don't know where to start...

You have to know how to navigate away from the many rocky shores littered with shit. I was embarassed to call myself a Java developer after going to J1 this year, so sad.

That being said, there are some amazing libraries out there.

Google Guice, Google Collections Framework, struts2, BDB JE to name a few. They help me ship.

Lots of great software if you poke around.
