Eclipse/Java equivalent to Microsoft ASP.NET Model View Control Framework

Question

Does anyone know if there is any equivalent to Microsoft's ASP.NET Model View Control Framework with Visual Studio/C# but for Eclipse with Java?

Or put it another way one could build a website in C# using MS Visual Studio with ASP.NET MVC, is there anything similar for Java using the Eclipse IDE?

I've built up good knowledge with Java and the Eclipse IDE creating some Android Apps that I'd like to leverage, now I need to turn my attention to web apps and I'd like to stick with Java and the Eclipse IDE. Cheers!

There are a bunch. I'd check out Play! but there are also: Apache Wicket, Spring MVC and some others.

There is also a version of Play! for Scala which is a bonus if you intend on moving up from Java to Scala one day.
