Is there a guide to modern java frameworks and their use? I left java a while back when "EE" was full of shit.

Parallel Universe made a comprehensive 3-part blog post to modern Java. They cover language features like lambdas, as well as notable libraries for build, deployment, monitoring, and web development.

So, is the idea to avoid ORM, JSF, JavaBeans, CDI Beans and all JavaEE in general? How is web application development done? I guess the back-end is made in Java with an API, and another language is used for the front-end.

Yeah we're using javascript with react/flux on the front end
