libGDX
Desktop/Android/HTML5/iOS Java game development framework
libGDX is a cross-platform Java game development framework based on OpenGL (ES) that works on Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, your browser and iOS. libGDX provides a well-tried and robust environment for rapid prototyping and fast iterations. libGDX does not force a specific design or coding style on you; it rather gives you the freedom to create a game the way you prefer. Publish your games on Windows, macOS, Linux (including the RPi!), Android, iOS, and HTML5, all with the same code base. libGDX comes with batteries included. Write 2D or 3D games and let libGDX worry about low-level details. Heavy emphasis is put on avoiding garbage collection for ART/JavaScript by careful API design and the use of custom collections. libGDX is a well proven and reliable framework with a sound base and documentation. Furthermore, there are plenty of games built on top of libGDX, many of which are open source. -

NullSAF
A game engine in java for 2D strategy games
NullSAF is a game engine written in Java with features as creating terrain maps and navigation meshes from bitmaps, defining different type of units, sensors, guns, missiles, AI for movement, pathfinding and targetting and simulation of bullets and animated explosions. I learned a lot from it and used it to test new concepts in AI and wargaming. Maybe it can inspire you or you want to really improve it to build your own wargame or serious game. Think of it as Robocode, but then with a far more serious implementation of CGFs and AI. -
