About Awesome Java
Awesome Java is a GitHub repository that serves as a curated list of Java frameworks, libraries, tools and resources. The homepage lists 839 projects in 81 categories, along with 85 resources such as related lists, communities, guides, books, podcasts and screencasts. Each project entry gives a short description and, where available, a GitHub star count and license.
Each entry also carries an activity marker based on when the project last received a push: within 3 months, 3 to 12 months ago, or more than 12 months ago. License information appears only when GitHub's SPDX metadata is available. For entries that span several repositories, stars are combined, the most recent push sets the activity marker, and a license is shown only when all repositories agree. The list points to external projects, so details such as features, setup and suitability should be checked on each project's own page.

Awesome Java FAQ
What do the activity colors mean?
Green means the project was pushed within the last 3 months. Orange means it was pushed 3 to 12 months ago. Red means there has been no push for over 12 months.
How are license chips determined?
License chips use GitHub SPDX metadata when it is available. If no metadata is available, no license is shown.
How are entries that cover several repositories shown?
Their stars are combined, the most recent push is used for the activity marker, and a license is shown only when all of the repositories share the same license.
