What would be a modern IDE for Java?

I remember programming Java in Eclipse. And it was powerful for the time, but everytime I read bloated, I automatically think Eclipse since then..




and also FOSS (Apache 2): https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community (as well as PyCharm found in the "python" subdirectory)


IntelliJ is very good.


Eclipse has seen vast development in the last few years and is fast and easy to use these days.


Another rather new option is VSCode + the Java plugin
