Try out Google App Engine's Java support and the Eclipse plug-in, and if you're after a Java framework check out GWT. I love Python and work in it almost entirely now, but previously worked with Java (yes I know the joke about them being the same with the whitespace re-arranged). GAE gets rid of most of the configuration and scaling pain. Plus it's free to get started. There are some limitations, but essentially it makes deploying Java web apps a snap. http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/overview.html http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/overview.html

GWT is the more heavy weight than JSP. Whole app takes 2 minutes to load in hosted mode. In my opinion if one has to choose Java then my ideal stack is: JSP, Spring, Hibernate, Java. For personal projects: I am a Grails guy. I love it. Dynamic methods on Model classes, no need of DAO's per say, GSP tags are great. I have also developed using Python and Django. And loved it. Grails gives me that only in Groovy/Java which is awesome! My 2 cents.
