I agree with these posts. After spending several years doing Servlet/JSP pages and designs I have concluded that they still take too much time to develop. Template engines like Velocity and FreeMarker are a much better solution to keep presentation and coding elements separate. JPublish is another good framework that helps you organize Velocity or FreeMarker pages.
The Open For Business (OFBiz, http://www.ofbiz.org) project on sourceforge uses open standards and provides a great framework for developing CRM and ERP applications for business. They have a good E-Commerce application and are working on other applications. The project uses an MIT license which is very flexible for businesses to create their own vertical applications or tie into existing legacy systems.
Developing and interfacing with CRM/ERP applications for several years, I think OFBiz provides an excellent framework to create business applications. I also think OFBiz is a better solution than Compiere because it doesn't require proprietary components.
