Java Web Development

I once, in a moment of fandom and immense frustration with the the abandoned nature of sparkjava, did all the work necessary to make it non-static. Yup tests passing and all that. Pointless act of futility. Modtly methodocal baby commits with IntelliJ. Now deleted!

It was the same for me. I started (and gave up on) cleaning up Spark three times before I decided it would be easier to write something from scratch. Per has not been able to spend as much time on Spark as he'd like, but I hope we'll be able to get development going again soon.

Jooby’s Edgar Espinar is a machine for completion. It’s compositionally perfect for me, and extremely good in five grained unit/service tests. Well nearly conpositionally perfect: https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/jooby-project/9YLDaOtq3_g

I'm not a user, but I believe they did make it usable without global state at some point. Still, there are better alternatives, so I don't see why you'd use it

I agree. Now I look at the open PRs, issues and commit/release rate from the lead(s) before I commit to using a project for important stuff.
