James,

You might want to look at OpenMap for Java implementations of a few
projections, but I am not aware of an OpenSource projections library
with the breadth of PROJ. 

I am not aware of a set of test data files, but you should be able to 
create these easily, and compare projection results from PROJ and your newly
developed libraries.  I am also interested in doing some comparison of 
results between PROJ, GCTP and Geotrans to verify that everything is kosher.
