What are some good vim plugins and extensions for java coding?

Question

I have been using IDEs for coding in Java for a while now. For a change, I want to try vim for java programming.

Can you tell me about some good plugins that can make java programming convenient in vim?

Answer 1

I just started using vim aswell but for PHP development. Still I recommend:

• snipMate - Textmate style Snippet plugin with support for many languages
• NERDTree - File tree
• Supertab - TAB autocompletion
• Taglist - Tagexplorer

These plugins help rendering vim into a really useful IDE.
