Lucene? Android :) Tomcat? Maven? The Minecraft coding community is amazing. What they get done without documentation is stunning.
In praise of Lucene, it's stated that > Wikipedia replaced the Lucene engine with Elasticsearch, a distributed, REST-enabled search engine also written in Java Elasticsearch is still using Lucene as core search engine though, so all that was replaced is the custom job control and wrapping around Lucene (SOLR?) by the one that Elasticsearch provides I guess.

It's funny how Java is not considered a good language for games... yet Java managed to snag one of the most important games of the decade in the end
On a side note, I worked on Jpcsp, a PSP emulator in Java. Great for research and doing refactoring in the code quickly, not great for performance, even with a JIT. We wrote later PPSSPP in C++, performance was there quite easily.
No mention of Android? lol butt hurt
I'd nominate Bitwig for this. The UI is written in Java and is one of the nicest DAW interfaces around. The stuff they've been doing in the modular grid lately is particularly impressive. The fact that it's in Java means it works great on Linux too. https://www.bitwig.com/en/home.html

It's really not great. Doable, but not great. That's why they moved to a classic C++ codebase instead on other platforms. On a side note, I worked on Jpcsp, a PSP emulator in Java.

What are the odds that a language known for its use in boring enterprise software is the language used to create the most popular video game in history (Minecraft). If C++ was a person it would be mad/salty at this fact.

It's mentioned in the Wikipedia search section.
