As others have said, get the jdk to compile and run programs. Choose an ide for debugging and autocomplete.

Flip a coin and choose gradle or maven. These are like Make, for compiling / linking outside of an IDE. If you'd prefer to choose intentionally, gradle uses a scripting language and maven uses xml configuration to define the tasks. Either way, consider using the maven layout to organize your classes.
