The JEE Web Application we are currently working on requires a simple forum like feature set. Is there any Java based Forum software that we can embed into the existing Web App (java based). A minimalistic feature set should suffice.

A: 

Here's a list of some popular open source forums for java:

I would think making you own would probably be more efficient given the minimalistic feature-nature of it.

Thanks for the input Tommy. I initially evaluated the options mentioned in the link and opted for JForum...gotta see how well the integration goes.

A: 

If you look up for an embedded solution, I would suggest you trying services oriented solutions, like Nabble for example. It is architecture independent, and is enough customizable for classic usages.

Other JEE choices are also available here, even if JForum is clearly the best one:
