Web application frameworks that support FreeMarker
Note that this list is not complete, since we only list products where the framework authors explicitly state that their product supports FreeMarker. For some frameworks not listed here, it is easy to plug any view component, and thus FreeMarker.
Also, for most "Model 2" frameworks (like Maverick or Struts) it is easy to use FreeMarker templates instead of the MVC-oriented JSP pages. For more information click here...
