I'm about 3 years out of date on Java, but if I were spinning up a new project it would be:

* Latest JDK

* Spring Boot

* JQuery/Bootstrap

* Eclipse (with Vim keybindings plugin)

Caveats:

* If it was a personal project or only a very small team, I'd start with Kotlin

* I haven't tried IntelliJ in quite a while and would give it a shot to see if I wanted to switch off Eclipse now

Make sure you do give it a try and beyond the initial discomfort too. It has improved leaps & bounds.
