Lightest Java Editor

Whats is the lightweight Java editor alternative to Eclipse? On Mac OS Just something that will pick up local JDK, provide code help /completion, compile, run. Mostly to do standalone programs try HackerRank and LeetCode - need to refresh a lot by writing and executing before whiteboarding... Know of InteliJ.. don't think it's that much lightweight. Can Atom or VS Code or Sublime be used as such? Thx

You can install plugins in vim for syntax correction and completion

You know you can trim off a lot of things from eclipse and make it lightweight and fast. And if you doing leetcode, I am pretty sure eclipse handles that much load really good without doing anything.

VS Code with Red Hat’s Java extension is a thing of beauty.

IntelliJ is great. No one else is even close in terms of productivity and usability. Just disable all the plugins you don’t need (they’re all on by default).

+1. You could also look at Texmate and BlueJ. FYI.. I am not an expert developer but do some prototyping in Python and Java. I have also used atom.
