Well, there is always Java Serialization to start with: if you can
change all your classes to implement 'Serializable' and just
Outputstream them.

If you need multi-user or network access things get more complex. There
are lots of small to large commercial JAVA ODBMS's that will store your
objects.

And then there is Ozone, a persistent object project for Java. I have
not used it but it looks powerful and flexible..although I don't know
about 'easy'. It requires changes to your classes also. Definitely worth
checking out:
