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.😩

Hi, I've coded Java in Emacs. Have been doing so for 25 years, starting out with jdee, then eclim, lsp-mode and now eglot. (Also 2-3 others in between, but those didn't stick). Much easier to set up than it used to be. Most things work more or less as well as intellij, the main exception being the debugger. The intellij debugger is just too good, so Ikeep idea around just for that.

You may have a look at my screencast and conf if you want:
