* Description
This layer adds support for the Java language.

** Features:
- Support for the following backends:
  - [[https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-java][LSP Java]] client/server (default)
  - [[https://github.com/mopemope/meghanada-emacs][Meghanada]] client/server
- Auto-completion using company
- Linting using flycheck integration
- Maven integration
- Interactive debugger using [[https://github.com/emacs-lsp/dap-mode][dap-mode]]

* Layer Installation
** Layer
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
add =java= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this
file.

** Choosing a backend
To choose a default backend set the layer variable =java-backend=:

#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
  (java :variables java-backend 'meghanada)
#+END_SRC

Alternatively the =lsp= backend will be automatically chosen if the layer =lsp=
is used and you did not specify any value for =java-backend=.

Backend can be chosen on a per project basis using directory local variables
(files named =.dir-locals.el= at the root of a project), an example to use the
=lsp= backend:

#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
  ;;; Directory Local Variables
  ;;; For more information see (info "(emacs) Directory Variables")

  ((java-mode (java-backend . lsp)))
#+END_SRC

*Note:* you can easily add a directory local variable with ~SPC f v d~.

* Backends
** LSP Java
LSP Java is the Java adapter for [[https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode][LSP Mode]] which is the Emacs client for [[https://github.com/Microsoft/language-server-protocol][Language Server Protocol]].

It integrates with =company= and =flycheck=. In addition it also provides
full graphical debugging support via =DAP mode=.

LSP is the default backend used by this layer, see [[#choosing-a-backend][Choosing a backend]] in
order to learn how to select a different backend.

*** Installation
The lsp server will be installed automatically whenever a Java file
is opened.

** Meghanada
Meghanada is composed of a lightweight server and an Emacs minor mode. It
is unintrusive and integrates with =company= and =flycheck=.

Both =Gradle= and =Maven= projects are compatible with Meghanada.

*** Installation
The Meghanada server will be installed automatically whenever a Java file
is opened.

If you get issues with the auto-installation you can either download the last
version of the server manually [[https://dl.bintray.com/mopemope/meghanada/][there]] or build from source hosted on [[https://github.com/mopemope/meghanada-server][the GitHub
repository]] and copy the =jar= file to =.emacs.d/.cache/meghanada= folder.

No additional configuration is necessary!

*** About Maven
Maven is not fully supported by Meghanada (but should still work fine for most
projects). If you encounter disconnection from the server then run =mvn install=
at the root of your project first.
