Q: 

What Java based technologies have survived the test of time?

There are many Java based technologies. What Java based technologies have survived the test of time? What technologies have you used for a considerable period of time and still use regularly. What technologies have helped, rather than hindered you on a day to day basis. Please don't response with items that you may have used for a short period of time.

In my experience:

Core Java. Collections framework. JUnit. JMeter. JPA/Hibernate. Log4J. Javadoc. Maven. Netbeans.

+3  A: 

Spring, been using it for about 5 years.

mmmm, i love it :)

you love spring or xml? be honest! try Guice and you will see what real DI feels like.

Not necessarily just the XML/DI, but the breadth and quality of APIs - DB, AOP, JMS, Security, etc, which fit in so seamlessly. When I start seeing lots of vacancies requiring Guice I'll take a look :-)

A: 

Servlet API Eclipse JMS Log4J

oops - I forgot about Log4J - added to list.
Conor  2010-08-24 13:23:31
Log4J the old faithful :-)
Peter Tillemans  2010-08-24 13:25:41
Except now being superseded by slf4j, no?
wds  2010-08-24 13:39:45
slf4j does not superceed log4j, it facades it.

Lots, but list one?

  • Apache Ant

Runners up:

  • Apache Tomcat
  • JBoss AS
  • Maven
  • xUnit in general, and jUnit in particular.

nUnit? Did you mean JUnit? NUnit is for .NET.
Jesper  2010-08-24 14:45:05
Sorry, typo =) I Meant to say xUnit (having used dbUnit and such as well)
