nvim-dap-virtual-text VS nvim-jdtls

https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap + https://github.com/theHamsta/nvim-dap-virtual-text should be able to do it, I think?

There's a nice dap plugin for neovim nvim-dap-virtual-text that shows the values of local variables as like a tooltip next to them in the source as you're debugging. CIDER (clojure mode for emacs) has a a similar mode you could look at for ideas how to implement in elisp

Lastly, I use a plugin that at runtime evaluates the state of your program (e.g. what value is assigned to this variable? Which is handy especially when you're stepping through a loop -- see screenshots in linked repo) https://github.com/theHamsta/nvim-dap-virtual-text

Using a combination of https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap, with https://github.com/rcarriga/nvim-dap-ui and https://github.com/theHamsta/nvim-dap-virtual-text

Nvim-Dap-Virtual-Text Gives us nice information

I recommend that you do not configure jdtls like the other language servers, it is better to use the nvim-jdtls plugin.

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.

This and this provided no viable solutions for me

I tried to configure jdtls for my NeoVim I followed https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-jdtls install instruction. and I faced this error does anyone successfully configured jdtls ? help T ^ T

Am I adding it to the wrong configuration option? Some places I see it added as a referencedLibary - https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-jdtls

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.

Here' my java.lua for nvim-jdtls which solves the nil issue and add more features.
