44 Tools, Plugins and Libraries to Get Started with Your First Java Spring/Quarkus App

Nice list.

Some comments

• If you're just starting to develop something you don't need multiple versions of JDK. Just use the latest LTS version (v. 21 currently).
• Git is always good to have. IntelliJ IDEA has a built in git client so others aren't strictly needed at first
• Ultimate version of IDEA (paid software) has full support for Spring (inc. Spring initializer)
• If you run Linux podman is a good choice instead of Docker
• For plugins I'd add sonarlint (helps with code quality)
• I'd also add Spotless to the project for automatic formatting
