Help with Java Programming in Emacs

[Narendra Joshi]

Hi,

Can someone share an article or any other resource for making Emacs a
productive environment for Java (mainly for writing Flink jobs)?

Best,

Development environment is in the eye of the beholder (or perhaps in
a less aphoristic language: expectations vary a lot depending on user).

But a good starting point to research might be the Emacs wiki. Search
for "Java".

One of the hits which might fit your query is here:

Enjoy

Back in the java 1.4.2 days I used JDEE heavily. It was great. Since
then I haven't done much java programming. I know that JDEE wasn't
keeping up with 1.5 and 1.6, but then the project saw new life and I
would be willing to bet that it has been brought fully up to snuff.

I also used XRefactory. It now appears to be dead. While JDEE handled
the buffer mode and the keybindings for building, cleaning, etc.,
XRefactory handled completion and navigation through the codebase. I
believe that JDEE has been improved to handle these tasks.

I tried many options in the past, and I find meghanada mode the easiest
to use and the most effective.

https://github.com/mopemope/meghanada-emacs

Before I tried that, I was just using stock java-mode in emacs.

That looks very interesting.

I'll just add that for a while I was using emacs-eclim which uses 
eclipse as the java tool and emacs as the editor. I don't know that 
state of it now.

I use either Intellij or Eclipse as debugger, and some times for code 
completion. Mainly with gradle as the build tool.

So, I edit in emacs and switch back and forth. I will have to check out 
the gradle support in Meghanada-emacs.

"Meghanada" is great，but it seems that it has some extra requirements,
such as "tested only linux (maybe macOS OK). windows not support." and
"require Java 8".

I have tried emacs-eclim, it is too slow to write code. So I still
simply use java-mode. Anyway, I just write some toy project with Java,
so it doesn't matter so much.
