With work keeping me rather busy lately, I haven’t had the chance to write up a (readable) new post. But over the last little I’ve been looking for a lightweight web development framework for Java that breaks out of the Servlet mold when I discovered Play!. Play is lightweight, set up for rapid development, and maintains an efficient railsy feel with all the maturity of the JVM thrown in.
The guys involved with Play! released 1.0 earlier this month, so I bundled up a OSX installer to place the commands in convenient places for mac users.
