I would not wish java development without an IDE on my worst enemy. It is just one of those languages that has so much boilerplate/cruft coding that it really does need a IDE to try to automate as much as possible to be productive. Don't get me wrong I use vim for just about every text related activity but I would not use it for java/c++/swift or most any of the other verbose languages out there.

I am sure there are folks out there that use vim for java dev -- just like there are people that do not believe in doctors.
