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

Project manager

1. unite - 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.

2. vimfiler - A powerful file explorer implemented in Vim script

Code formatting

1. neoformat - A (Neo)vim plugin for formatting code.

Code completion

1. javacomplete2 - Updated javacomplete plugin for vim

Demo

Generics demo

Syntax lint

1. neomake - Asynchronous linting and make framework for Neovim/Vim
