You should learn to use Maven. Also, try to follow great Java projects on GitHub and learn with their maintainers how to write great Java code.

Also, as the JVM has been flourishing for the past 5 years, I'd also recommend you to learn some of the more popular JVM-based languages. That'd be Scala and Clojure.

I haven't heard of Maven. I will have to look into it. Thanks. As for following "great Java projects on GitHub" How would you suggest I go about finding the projects. What I find great could be considered mediocre at best, especially since I only really have my own code to base it off of. I would like to start following projects on GitHub but I don't want to be influenced by the wrong projects. So if you have any suggestions on finding good projects, that would be great. Thank you very much for your help.

Hey! You can use the GitHub "explore" feature. Here is the link specifically for Java
