I would like to create a private customized social networking for my company employees and partners so that they can collaborate, exchange messages, share experiences (events, book references, etc) and be grouped into communities. Does anybody know good Java framework for start developing this?

I would be looking for something that would contain basic components such as Profile, Friend List, Community, Events, Messages, etc. Each of this component could be extended to implement domain specific features. It would be nice if it also supports OpenSocial.

    @Tim I found this post very helpful and not at all like YOU thought it would be. – KingAndrew Oct 04 '12 at 23:54
  • i think every javaEE beginner or even experienced developer also have question about which framework is the most suitable to them, in term of user base, future expansion, etc. even these frameworks are all claim themselves no lock-in, but still some different between them. – Mythox May 29 '13 at 09:26
  • There's eurekastreams, but it's not being developed any longer - https://github.com/lmco/eurekastreams. I also found this but haven't tried it - https://www.exoplatform.com/ – chrismarx Oct 23 '15 at 15:02

Collective Intelligence in Action could be helpful if you also like to leverage the data gathered in your social web application.

I 'v built my own social networking features such as creating group adding people to group, friends list, messages, events, comments, blogs and etc. If anyone is interested I can only provid you with the jar and the list of the rest of techs that you have to use with these features to work. If you like to add your own business features on top then there are loads of solutions I can guide you through...
