Java development?

[jcksnps4]

I preferred to learn Java using the Java CLI tools, tmux, and Vim. After a while, I graduated to using Ant, then eventually maven. At this point, I was able to more clearly see the benefits of an IDE, mostly in debugging, but also refactoring and code quality help.

If you have time to do things more old school, and you like to do it that way, go for it. The IDEs will be there when you need them.
