According to the latest StackOverflow dev survey, no one is using #Emacs anymore... Time to finally learning something new I guess! 😅

Notepad++ passing IntelliJ!? How can people seriously code there? When I was way younger (but folks, it was the early 90s!) I was using something like that.
Than I found proper IDEs (JBuilder, NetBeans, IntelliJ IDEA) and I thought I had everything I needed.
Then I found #Emacs.

If you do Java, how do you code Java in Emacs? Did you find a language server which works without constant hair pulling? I tried eclipse-jdtls with a lot of patience and config fiddling but found it needs frequent restarts, has hardly any useful logging and a mind of its own when it comes to where and how the project must be set up.😩

@HaraldKi @AAMfP @bbatsov I do java with emacs. Yes, IntelliJ is better, but I'm pretty humble and I don't ask for much: Jumping to definition, implementing getters and setters, find usages, you know, the basic stuff.

Eglot with a language server or just treesitter?

@HaraldKi @AAMfP @bbatsov Just lsp-java package I'm afraid.
