If you are doing Java and desperately need something to get you out of the ohfock-it's-2am-and-I-am-still-coding-this-sql-shite, then please look no further than Grails http://grails.org.
It's everything like Ruby on Rails except that it:
- Should be way cooler than Rails
- Better performance
- Wealth of Java libraries
- You get some peace Rails disco noise and get things done.
