Dropwizard is pretty great, but one unfortunate aspect is that it's stuck with Jersey 1.x for JAX-RS and as a result is missing some nice features, like async responses, etc.

I only used it as an example to the fact that modern Java libraries bear little resemblance to those of yesteryear.

I do, however, think that standard JSR APIs are still really nice to have, if they're good.
