JSF is a front end framework for Java and is in good health AFAIK

IMO any stateful server-side framework is in trouble nowadays since scaling them involves passing this state around which is a headache compared to current REST/GraphQL backend + Javascript framework stacks.

Oracle seems to keep peddling JSF for stuff like internal business apps, but I've not seen any development around the framework itself in recent years. It's been a while since I've seen a public site built with JSF too.
