There is a lot that Java EE got wrong, but there is a lot in there that is probably more good than bad. The amount of ceremony and effort (and XML) required to get a basic Java EE thing is not great. But, when I used Play Framework 1.x with Java, it was quite enjoyable. I haven't used it much since, but I could see something like Play solving most of the annoyances of Java EE, while keeping some of the good parts of Java or other JVM languages.
