So your project basically has no requirements except what you want to 
do.  I'd still attempt to collect some ideas from your team.  Talk to 
some folks over lunch about what they'd like to see in the new system. 
If you can get some people excited about the project, you might get 
extra time, or resources, or accolades.  This is all just basic 
workplace skills here.

Assuming you want to keep Java, I'd recommend looking into a full JEE 
container.  The latest EJB 3.0 stuff is easier to program that a bare 
Tomcat container.  It's a bit more to learn, but faster once you get the 
hang of it.  The book Core JSF 2.0 helped me a lot (there's a lot of bad 
books out there too; Core JSF isn't one of them).

I don't know of anything like a website bbs/forum for Java off-hand. 
I'm sure there's some out there, but Java isn't a single product like 
Drupal or something where they concentrate on pre-built modules. 
There's a few CMSs for JEE, but they tend to be heavy-weight things that 
assume a considerable time investment to learn.  I think it would 
actually be faster to write your own simple bbs.  It's basically one 
table and a couple of views.  Of course, if you need many features, 
finding something appropriate and adapting it becomes more worth the 
time spent.  (There's that whole "it depends on features" thing again.)

There's some good open source here you can look through, and of course 
there's Google too.   Good luck.
