What are the main tools/frameworks used nowadays in Java?

I am a .NET / C++ programmer switching to Java. I had previous exposure to Java 10+ years ago in university.

What would be the typical things to be learned in order to be able to program web applications in Java?

I can think of: JSP/Servlets Eclipse EJB

What else do people use these days?

The idea would be to be able to land on a Java project and make myself useful

Grails is also a Java platform web application framework, although it's coded in the Groovy language rather than Java, which is more like Python or Ruby and is dynamically typed.

If you are focusing on web applications specifically, it's important to know and understand many topics that are independent of Java:

  • JavaScript
  • SQL
  • CSS
  • XML (XPath in particular)
  • HTML
  • HTTP

You need to get a grasp of these concepts before learning Java frameworks that may or may not simplify the creation of code dealing with them.

As far as Java-specific libraries and frameworks go, these are essential:

  • Servlets and JSPs
  • JDBC
  • Ant
  • Apache Commons -- for the love of all that's good, don't re-invent common libraries!

These are nice to have but are too narrow to focus on before learning everything above:

  • Spring
  • Hibernate
  • Maven
  • JSF

I migrate between a lot of clients who use Java heavily. Here's what I see people use:

a) a lot:

  • JDBC
  • Servlets
  • Ant
  • Log4J
  • Eclipse/Intellij

b) quite often:

  • JSP
  • Spring
  • Maven
  • Web Services
  • the Apache Commons libraries

c) barely ever:

  • EJBs (not since 2002 or so!).

I've not come across Hibernate or other ORMs. I'm not sure why, I confess, since it seems popular in the context of SO.
