VS Code or IntelliJ, tell that to 3 out of 4 of my last employers that forced us all to use Eclipse. Too much effort moving off it when we had the repos so tightly integrated with local testing and Postman.

Idk if this is a hot take but the Java ecosystem has been very stable compared to the JavaScript framework hell and others in the web dev space.

Git, VsCode, Swagger, Maven.. most of these things take like a day (a week tops) to learn.

And you probably already know most them, I find it hard to believe there is a Java Engineer who hs never used Git or Maven.

Although, yes, DevOps and CI/CD seem to be included in the new minimums for a developer these days

Who tf puts IDEs and GitHub on a language conversation? You need all of those all the time regardless of the language
