Web application framework in java with eclipse plugin

Question

I would like to start off with a web application developed using a framework, I specifically want to code using Java and also need a plugin in eclipse so that it is easy to debug and deploy.

I have gone through a couple of web sites and found ZK, extjs Vaadin which can be used for the framework development. But I would like more input on this. Whether these are the best frameworks or is there some thing else that will be useful.

Thanks, Bhavya

JBoss SEAM framework. Install the JBoss Tools package (also available in Eclipse MarketPlace). It allows you to integrate JSF, JPA with a Seam Framework. JSF & JPA are JSR that is now standard in Java EE.

Answer 3
