    Tomcat by dvarrich

    Been using Tomcat for several years.  Primarily the large user base makes it easier to support and work with.  Also like the support with plugins for remote debugging.

    IDEA by dasanderl.ausminga

    Tomcat by dasanderl.ausminga

    great stuff for free. using tomcat since years. never bad experiences. only thing nice would be extended hot swap features like e.g. runtimes coming with the playframework.

    Golo by thierry.chantier

    Vaadin by roy.donasco
