Most standard complaints are over 10 years old, people should just get over it. The IDEs are a little fat and I/O hungry. If you don't have a beefy machine, just get a SSD, and that problem is gone.
Spring is great, but JavaEE6 simplified things further standardising things like CDI, JPA, JSF, Jersey, etc... (also, JavaEE7 was just released).
It's actually a pleasure to write web apps in Java nowadays. Great IDEs, debugging tools, lots of mature options, unlike some cool kids..
