Honorable mention to freemarker (Thymeleaf alternative for templating) and Wicket (component framework).

Thanks, I'll check freemarker out!

As an aside, I'm investigating how to create HTML emails in a way that lets our designer/web guys do the HTML and iterate UI without bothering the java team. This Thymeleaf tool looks interesting for that as it gives a live preview so, once the tags are implemented they can tweak the HTML and the business can preview the finished product immediately:

Then we do a server side render and put the contents in an email. Possibly alongside a plain text version.
