				DHTMLX JavaPlanner is a web control that facilitates the creation of Google and Outlook-like calendars in Java. One of the pros it that it is quite simple to setup and use by the developers of all levels, including newbies.
Functionality:
The web control offers the most essential functionality that an event calendar must have. It offers high customization capabilities that allow creating event and booking calendars in different frameworks, such as Grails, Struts and Spring MVC. You can extend your calendar with many available features. The control provides support for touch screen devices and comes with a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface. Its multiple features include integration with Google Maps, recurring events support, different calendar views (like day, week, month, year, timeline, grid), popup mini calendar, email notifications, localization to over 25 languages, and more. 
Quality & Speed: 
JavaPlanner uses Ajax to speed up a calendar page load. It’s pretty lightweight. The jar file is only 169 Kb. The whole package with js, css and image files is a bit more than 3 MB. The calendar offers attractive skins - terrace, modern and glossy - which can also be customized to match your app. The official website provides ready demo samples for most popular frameworks and detailed tutorials, including a two-part video on how to create a java web calendar from scratch.
Price: 
There’s no open source version available. However, you can get a 30-days trial to evaluate it. The web control costs $299 per Commercial license and $799 per Enterprise license.
