  • kitteh

    A pure java web server

  • Spring boot is ok, altho i feel it only spread becouse of "spring". Small self contained http servers library existed before (they're pretty simple to make too, i did one myself), they were just not considered, in favour of big servers like tomcat etc.

  • Persism

    A zero ceremony ORM for Java

  • You might like Persism - I'm always looking for good feedback on this library. https://github.com/sproket/Persism

  • Immutables is already a better alternative to lombok that doesn't involve a compiler hack. It doesn't cover @Getter or @AllArgsConstructor for non data/value classes, but those can easily be generated by the IDE. In the Java 16+ world, there is a library that can generate builders for records and there is already a plan that will make the builder pattern unnecessary in the future.

  • record-builder

    Record builder generator for Java records

  • There are already nice support libraries for example https://github.com/Randgalt/record-builder for Builder and withers

  • Persistent Collection

    A Persistent Java Collections Library

  • You might consider persistent collections instead of immutable collections, I believe it is more optimized https://github.com/hrldcpr/pcollections

  • OpenPDF

    OpenPDF is a free Java library for creating and editing PDF files, with a LGPL and MPL open source license. OpenPDF is based on a fork of iText. We welcome contributions from other developers. Please feel free to submit pull-requests and bugreports to this GitHub repository.

  • OpenPDF is a pretty decent replacement for itext. They forked itext from the version right before itext changed the license and have been actively developing it since.

  • Apache Shiro

    Apache Shiro

  • Apache Shiro is another security framework. I haven't tried it out myself, but I was sorely tempted to when trying to set up Spring Security.
