[g]vim + Java

I was wondering if there is a way to program java on vim like a decent IDE (auto-completion mainly) ?

Take a look at the ycm plugin. You could write your own completion files. Probably be a lot of work. Personally, I'd recommend you use a less awful language

All the best,

How about eclim? I have never really tested it, but it sounds like much less work to set up than other solutions like plugins and such.

Re: [g]vim + Java

I've used eclim (with headless Eclipse) a couple years ago for a Java project (haven't written more than a handful of lines of Java since then). As far as I can remember, I also mainly used the completion features and it did a pretty good job and was indeed easy to set up.
