"Distributed collections and quite a lot more!: Spark's RDD, a way of abstracting distributed data collections with an API quite alike Scala native immutable collections.
You can kick the tires out of the box to then start use different deployment schemes.
I really love how natural its transformation API is, especially when used with Scala."

"Grails is easy to start, hard to deep in.: 0. Can use any existed java library.
1. Groovy 's advantage (than java):
(0) Metaprogramming
(1) more efficient operators ( Elvis operator, Safe navigation operator etc. )
(2) more useful method to JDK classes ( such as Collection#find()), more
(3) can use much DSL ( can do same things with less code)
2. GORM is the bettern than using mybatis/hibernate in java app development.
3. easy to conver between map,list and json,xml.
4. Gsp is better than jsp——but I more intend not to use both at all. Instead, Grails app should response json data only. Html page can be developed by another app (using sass, angularJs, gulpjs etc), using ajax or jsonp to access json data.

"One of the simple platform for MVC Framework: It is very simple to use and is based on Model-View-Controller design pattern. Even as it has evolved over time, it is still very simple to use and understand. Perfect for someone looking to build a website or product based on MVC design pattern."

"Excellent option to work with Java web servers and javax.servelet's: Eclipse jetty offers an excellent tool of great quality to work with Web servers and javax.servlet container, firstly it is a tool that is at the level of the first in technology, but free, which is an excellent option for all, supports HTTP , WebSocket, OSGi, JMX, JNDI, JAAS and many other integrations, jetty is used in a variety of projects around the world, so it has a lot of documentation, which is a great help to the developer, another great advantage is that can be easily embedded in various devices, frameworks, servers and cluster, making the tool very versatile and saving many hours of development, that is why I recommend it and tell my colleagues to try it."

" The best solution for the rapid development of applications: Because I like Vaadin? I like it mainly because it is an ideal tool for developers since it allows to develop applications in the fastest way, due to the templates it offers for the creation of different graphics such as buttons, its interface is very simple which makes it easy to work with it and the best thing is that debugging and maintaining these applications made with it is much easier."

"Junit is best for selenium test cases: I have integrated junit with my maven project . Junit is a platform For testing frameworks on JVM. Annotation allow us to give tag name to our test classes and methods. We can define what to run before or after the tests. I am using it with selenium to run my test cases. Junit is shipped with Most of IDE such as Eclipse and Netbeans"

"My Hibernate Review: Well the best thing its database independency, you can move to different database software easily because you are developing to an abstraction. And caching mechanism (1st level & 2nd level cache) provided in hibernate means you don't need to hit database for similar queries, to improve performance. "

"Great technology for scalable Data and Web-projects: The framework is asynchronous by nature, most of the things are possible to do in a non-blocking way. Akka Streams are in the core, and it gives agility to think in the more high-level way - not what to do with Data element, but how to handle a stream of things. Streams are well testable, and by the way, it's possible to cover nearly all aspects in Unit/Integrational tests - from Controllers, DAOs to business logic. The Play works great with Specs2/Scalatest, mocking frameworks (Mocito, Scalamoc) are also suited well. Evolutions feature gives the ability to manage database schema changes easily, not only in a forward way but also backward. One of the best JSON/XML parsing, validation and transformation technologies that I have ever used (and it's possible to use this JSON library independently from the Play Framework project)."

"I have been using Wicket for 6 years: OOP and component based deign of the framework (Write once, use eveywhere)
Ready-to-use components (e.g. wicket, wicket-jquery-ui and wicket-kendo-ui components)
Designing elegant architecture is simplified by the use of Java 8 and functional programming!
User guides and doccumentation.
Active releases and Apache support.
It is of course open-source, which helps you becoming master in Wicket.
Bean validation, Spring injection and Spring security integration.
Inherent protection against session fixation, request forgery, etc.
Having the liberty to push the load onto client or server."

"Vraptor es de primera clase!: Realmente me gusta VRaptor por la facilidad de una mejora ágil, sin interferir con la visión del desafío, dejando que el desarrollador cree la clase más única de renunciar y es completamente compatible con HTML, CSS, JQuery Simplicity es lo excepcional del marco de Vraptor. Además, tiene una red de primera clase con comentarios agradables rápidos y correctos. Es fácil escribir cheques de unidad"

"Quick Learning Curve, Reduced Development Time: Cuba Platform (with Cuba Studio) is extremely easy to use.
I found the learning curve to get off the ground with a basic CRUD application pretty tame. I am not a professional developer but offer LOB applications as a value add for clients.
Cuba Studio generates and applies RDBMS scripts automatically. This includes changes after the application is deployed in production.
There are several deployment options from hot deploy, cloud, to creating a WAR that can be dropped into a Tomcat server. (There are likely more I am not aware of)
Cuba Studio can generate and keep updated UI screens as you are developing the app and changing entities. After that, screens can be easily customized in a WYSIWYG interface. Which a ton of options for look, feel, and customization.
It is possible to make a simple CRUD application without touching a line of java code, but it you need to, Cuba Studio integrates with Eclipse and intelliJ via plugin.
There is a robust security subsystem for managing users.
The community forum and chat are a fantastic resource, especially if you are just getting started with the platform. Questions are answered by fellow forum member or the actual development team in less than a day (often faster)
I have found a few minor bugs and they all have been patched within a matter of hours (and put into the next maintenance release).
Last but not least, I love the speed of development. New features are released it seems almost every month.
More importantly bug fixes are pushed out every couple of weeks.

"The best for your projects: Simplifies media processes in a standard way, and can be accessed quickly and easily. It facilitates daily work on Java projects and their understanding. It is very useful to facilitate the compilation process. With Maven you can change the registration document created directly from the control source, cross-reference and mailing lists, which is very useful. There are also some guidelines on how to design the structure of your project so that, once you learn. the design, you can easily navigate through any other project that uses Maven with the same default values."

"It helped me in the long run : I recently got the kindle edition and started reading. So far I enjoy reading it a lot. The structure is logical, every chapter lays out clear goals what will be covered, walks you through code step by step and ends with a summary and a short quiz to test your knowledge. I particularly like that throughout the book you build your own OSGI based application, step by step. You start building it in chapter 6 and at the end of the chapter, you have a runnable bundle, installed it in a container.
My only beef with the kindle edition is that the code samples are done sloppily. Indentation is missing completely and sometimes the samples don't even show syntactically correct Java code.
In short: an engaging, hands-on introduction into OSGI."
