Which open source Java library provides an easy way to read and write ESRI Shapefiles?

For the project, I need to read and write ESRI shapefiles. This should be very simple, since I do not need advanced features. Is there something there?

GeoTools supports shapefiles via the plugin. GIS is a complex area, and I think you will find that there are very few "simple" libraries. Any library that is powerful enough to create a common GIS, unfortunately, has a learning curve. However, Shapefiles are not that complicated and there is a lot of code there for links.
