  • Having the worst time trying to use JDTLS
    1 project | /r/neovim | 11 Dec 2023
    I recommend that you do not configure jdtls like the other language servers, it is better to use the nvim-jdtls plugin.
  • Noob here, would neovim work for my usecase
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 9 Dec 2023
    Java is actually pretty good with Neovim, jdtls and this plugin. One of the best language servers and I'm using it on a regular base with medium to large projects, mostly spring-based. No Android though.

  • Does anyone config java for neovim?
    7 projects | /r/neovim | 25 Apr 2023
    Sure. Any server that lspconfig supports will work. But for java development is better if you use nvim-jdtls. The documentation in lsp-zero has a guide on how to setup nvim-jdtls.
  • I can't seem to figure it out
