Java open source projects

Chris did not agree with my comments about Java and Open Source projects. Niel got my point.

To be able to mature, you need a solid foundation, and too much options is not a solid foundation. It is like marriage ;). You can fool around for a while, but if you want to get to the next step, you need to make a choice and move on (errr.. some of you will still prefer to have a couple of more 'options' ;)

In 5 years, I don't want to have 5 Java web application framework options. I want to have a solid (and 'good enough') framework and use my energy in solving other challenges.
