Play framework for Java. I’m genuinely impressed by this—it’s a full stack web framework for Java that actually does feel a lot like Django or Rails. Best feature: code changes are automatically detected and reloaded by the development web server, giving you the same save-and-refresh workflow you get in Django (no need to compile and redeploy to try out your latest changes).

  1. A number of Java web frameworks have automatic code reloading, but (at a quick glance) Play looks like the first one that reflects my views on how websites should function.

  2. FWIW I've been using this for about six months or so and, compared to most Java frameworks, I like it an awful lot.

  3. Interesting, I've just posted the review of this framework.
    I generally like the idea. My biggest concern is framework's name. It is very hard to google for anything related to the framework.
    And the second biggest drawback is lack of documentation. It's far from ideal and that is where Django beats any other framework easily.
