Java Development Tools are files, plugins, and other offerings which modify and enhance the default Java development process. These tools can range from add-ons that automate some element of Java development, to full distributions of Java runtime environments that have been altered or iterated upon for increased useability.
Java developers use Java development tools to make their work more efficient, remove unwanted elements, and cater their development environment to their desired use case.
To qualify for inclusion in the Java Development Tools category, a product must:
Integrate with or provide a custom version of a Java development platform
Provide distinct functionality or modify the existing functionality of vanilla Java
Not qualify for any other existing G2 categories
