Blogs > Use Vim as a Java IDE

I am a vimmer and a java developer. Here are some useful plugins for developing java in vim/neovim.

Project managerunite - file and code fuzzy founder.

The unite or unite.vim plug-in can search and display information from arbitrary sources like files, buffers, recently used files or registers. You can run several pre-defined actions on a target displayed in the unite window.

The difference between unite and similar plug-ins like fuzzyfinder, ctrl-p or ku is that unite provides an integration interface for several sources and you can create new interfaces using unite.

You can also use unite with ag, that will make searching faster.

config unite with ag or other tools support
