Find Java engineers shipping Web frameworks

The list above ranks the most-starred public Java repositories tagged with the Web frameworks topic, drawn from the public GitHub graph. Across 39 matching repositories, the contributors are a tight cluster of engineers with both Java chops and real Web frameworks experience.

That overlap is rare. Most Java engineers haven’t shipped Web frameworks, and most Web frameworks maintainers don’t write Java. The people on this list’s contributor graph are the ones who do both.

Refolk turns this list into a search. Ask for Java Web frameworks maintainers hiring” or Java engineers shipping Web frameworks in 2025” and Refolk returns a ranked shortlist with the commits, profiles, and projects behind each name.
