## What it is
A Neovim plugin that provides a batteries-included Java development environment, bundling the jdtls language server, Spring Boot tools, debugging, and test running. It aims to make Java in Neovim work out of the box with just a simple setup call.

## Use cases
- set up Java development in Neovim without manual LSP configuration
- get autocompletion and diagnostics for Java projects
- run and debug Spring Boot applications from Neovim
- run Java tests inside the editor
- organize imports and format Java code automatically
- manage Spring profiles and view application logs in Neovim

## When to choose
- you write Java or Spring Boot and prefer Neovim over IDEs like IntelliJ
- you want a zero-config jdtls setup with debugging and test running included
- you need Spring Boot tooling (profiles, runners, log viewer) in the terminal

## When to avoid
- you don't use Neovim
- you need full IDE features like visual refactoring or GUI debugger views
- you use a different language server setup like nvim-lspconfig with manual jdtls config
