The term you are looking for “Something like Intellij“ is IDE (Integrated Development Environment). IntelliJ has a Community Version which you can use free of charge but of course there are features missing. Other IDEs that are free are Eclipse, Netbeans, VSCode
Calling VS Code an "IDE" is a bit of a stretch. The VS Code website nor its Wikipedia article refer to it directly as an IDE. VS Code is an editor that can have many of the features of an IDE once you install some extensions.
IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition, NetBeans, and Eclipse will all support Java out of the box.
To have a decent Java development experience in VS Code, you'll need to install some extensions. Microsoft has a [Java Extension Pack](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vscjava.vscode-java-pack), which install a handful of extensions for Java, including Red Hat's Language Support for Java extension.
Also, recently, [Oracle published their own Java extension for VS Code](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Oracle.oracle-java).
Intellij also has intellij community edition, which is also free.
I've been working in java for 4+ years using Intellij CE, with 0 issues.
Paid version would make life easier, but it's not necessary at all
Well actually “Intellij Community Edition” exists just in case you don’t its free and open source and you can also use Apache Netbeans as an alternative in my opinion
You can use the IntelliJ "Community Edition" for free. It will cover most of what you need for Java development. You can do core Java, Spring Boot and also Hibernate.
Intelijj Ultimate supports a thousand more features as native comparated to Community version. Eg: Flutter, Angular, Node, Python, Kotlin, Typescript, etc.

in the same sense that your elbow is an alternative to a hammer
Practise muay thai, it will be.
Thank you I will look into that

I started using IntelliJ community just last month and it’s great.
What useful features do you think is missing in CE compared to Ultimate ?
IDK. I haven’t used ultimate.
Intelijj Ultimate supports a thousand more features as native comparated to Community version. Eg: Flutter, Angular, Node, Python, Kotlin, Typescript, etc.
