Can anyone recommend which version of Java I should use when setting up a dev. environment?
As the title says, not sure if I should stick with latest version of go with SE 8 since that's what a lot of guides online are recommending. IDE recommendations are also welcome!

intelliJ is the only IDE that matters. Java 8 is pretty old but it was a huge release when it happened, I'd say there's probably nothing wrong with using any version of Java really. Java 8 was just when they added lambda and Date/Time so it's kind of a bare minimum
ahh okay, thank you!!
i'll go with intelliJ, i like the tools jetbrains makes especially pycharm
used it a bunch a while back
yeah! good call :) every other Java IDE I've tried feels horribly outdated
Vim is the only ide that matters
Also java 11 is lts, 8+ should be fine for most things
Or you could use latest
Which is 19 rn
ye, going with 19 and intellij ultimate
ooh damn look at u treating yourself
yee
student pack gives you all the tools for free
I'm sure u will use none of them, but more expensive is better š
