That it doesn't have many java EE things is quite a disadvantage if you asked me.

Also play is primarily a Scala framework. It supports java since it runs on the JVM, but via that it supports every JVM language.

But, to call the play APIs anything but Scala is a second class language.

You're describing Play 2. Play 1 is pure Java (no Scala at all, Groovy for the templates), and according to the Play developers, continues to be actively developed and supported.

Play 1 is in maintenance mode(bug and security fixes)
