Am planning to start a website that I will use commercially. I recently have heard of the Play framework and it looks good. But am not sure if I should use it or not. I know java, jsp, servlets and struts 1.
I don't know how stable that framework is? Should I go with a native Java EE application or should I use Play?

Play Framework makes it easy to build web applications with Java & Scala. Play is based on a lightweight, stateless, web-friendly architecture. Built on Akka, Play provides predictable and minimal resource consumption (CPU, memory, threads) for highly-scalable applications.
Who uses Play? 289 companies reportedly use Play in their tech stacks, including LinkedIn, Glovo, and Accenture.
Play is a high-productivity web application framework for programming languages whose code is compiled and run on the JVM, mainly Java and Scala. It integrates the components and APIs we need for modern web application development.
The Play framework is a web framework for the JVM that breaks away from the Servlet Specification. Play embraces a fully reactive programming model through the use of futures for asynchronous programming, work stealing for maximizing available threads, and Akka for distribution of work.
If you want to have a rapid return on investment play is your friend. Within days of using it you can get a web site up and running (which even for an experienced Java EE developer is a bit of a challenge). I think you need to balance you requirements with the advantages of play.

Play is always gaining more momentum and there are already a few commercial websites using it http://www.playframework.org/community/testimonials.
I would also add that play is fun to develop with which will also add to your productivity!
