If you were Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options
Are there any open source, free java mapping engines available, that can
be used to create a basic website? I have found OpenMap and geoTools so
far, but would like recommendations on what is best, most popular etc.

Deegree (http://deegree.sourceforge.net ) is a WMS/WFS/WCS written Java,
as is GeoServer (not a WCS though). (geoserver.sourceforge.net).
Depending on your requirements you might not need to write any Java,
in which case MapServer (c++) is very cool!

It is something similar to Mapxtreme java or ArcIMS I have in mind, i.e.
serverside action that delivers a map in your browser. Support for SHP
files is great.
Both deegree and geoserver looks very interesting. Which one is the most
active / mostly use? GeoServer looks most appealing to me, so far.
