Here are the tabs that I currently have opened in Firefox right now:

• Jakarta Tapestry — Tapestry is a powerful, open-source, all-Java framework for creating leading edge web applications in Java.
• Wicket — Wicket is a Java web application framework that takes simplicity, separation of concerns and ease of development to a whole new level.
• Echo — Echo is a framework for developing object-oriented, event-driven Web applications.
• Working with the Echo Web framework, Part 1: An introduction to Echo — This two-part series provides an introduction to the Echo framework, an open source, Java technology-based platform for building Web applications that look and act like rich clients.
• Working with the Echo Web framework, Part 2: Creating a practical application — Now that you have the basics of the Echo framework well in hand, we’re going to put your knowledge to practical use. In this article, we’ll walk through the development of a real-world Echo application: a Web-based e-mail client.
• Unit-Testing Hibernate with HSQLDB — I’ve used lots of methods to transform data between databases and object code. From hand-coded SQL to JDO to EJB. I’ve never found a method I liked particularly well. This distaste has become especially acute since adopting test-driven development (TDD) as a guiding philosophy.
