A comment on Java Is Underhyped. Parent comment

I can (and often do) build from CLI, that is much smoother. I tried using vim on java, but honestly you need an IDE for all the constant code generation and incessant fixups by mouseclicks that are needed. Vim+coc is more than enough in the other languages that I use.

You're living in a parallel universe from the rest of us. IDE isn't necessary (and positively odd) for building Java.

He is. VsCode (or any editor) + the Eclipse Language Server is more than enough. His complaints about debugging is because he doesn't know about attach debugging.

You do need to be able to build from IDE when you set breakpoints to debug.

Your IDE should be able to connect to any JVM that has been launched with the proper VM arguments.

We occasionally do remote debugging at work. It’s just a matter of copy/pasting the correct JVM incantation into the IDE.

I feel the parent comment was about editing, not building.
