> We've also developed our own Django-like templating system for Java

Any chance you could list viable alternatives, please? (I'm considering GAE/Java). Thanks for this interesting thread.

I did a study of the bigger templating systems available on Java earlier this year and the landscape wasn't that great: JSP, Freemarker, Velocity and a number of smaller projects. We decided that it was worth some time developing a system inspired by Django's lightweight syntax. If you send me a note (matthew@mastracci.com), I can let you know when we get our project up on github. It's rendering every page on gri.pe right now and has been stable for a few months now.

Have you looked into Google Sitebricks for templating?
