PrimeFaces

PrimeFaces can ensure a good UI and UX layer for your Java application.

It was developed for Java Server Faces 2.0, and is largely based on jQuery UI.

PrimeFaces adds extra support for modern technologies on top of jQuery UI, adding some extra widgets as well, allowing the developer to build rich, interactive user interfaces.

Besides basic UI widgets like panels, accordions, spinners, and so on, PrimeFaces also supports AJAX interactions, PUSH, Comet, mobile devices, and the Spring Framework out of the box.

PrimeFaces is basically open sourced, but the ELITE license grants early access to new versions and support from the developer.
