What are the most commonly used Java Frameworks? [closed]

Question

for me I will answer this question based on my experience.

so if I'm gonna start new project I will use the following technologies:

1. AndroMDA as MDA framework.
2. Spring (DI, Interceptors, Quartz, ACEGI, ... etc).
3. Hibernate.
4. JSF.

off course you might need to play with some helper frameworks/libraries such as:

1. Velocity.
2. CAS; if you need SSO.
3. JXLs; if you need small and easy library for generating Excel files using XLS templates.
4. Drools; which is Artificial Intelligence a Rule Engine that uses the Rule Based approached to implement an Expert System and is more correctly classified as a Production Rule System.

in terms of testing I will consider the following frameworks:

1. TestNG; you may want to use JUnit in the part of Unit Testing but TestNG is more than a unite testing framework;
2. WATIR or SELENIUM as web testing;

Can anybody else suggest other options?
