Vaadin
Vaadin is a Java web application framework. It is designed for
creating rich and interactive applications that run in the browser,
without any plugins. A server-driven architecture together with
reusable component model is used to simplify programming of
applications and for better web application security. No HTML, XML or
JavaScript necessary and all Java libraries and tools are at your
disposal.
Vaadin is designed to build web applications, not just
web-sites. This positions it for application rather than website
development. Vaadin comes with great-looking components and easy use of
themes. Built on GWT-based widgets, Vaadin applications support all
Ajax-capable browsers, with no plugins. The server-side architecture
ensures that your application code is hidden from the world.
It is mature software, with development starting in 2000.
