Without referring to external media, it's not all that easy to get anything done. It isn't exactly intuitive. It takes effort like anything else. (full disclosure: these days I'm almost exclusively an Emacs user, but for Java I might use IntelliJ instead and long time ago, when VisualAge for Java was still around, I evaluated a bunch of Java IDEs for the company I worked for)

lsp-java [1] might interest you. There was a lightning talk [2] about it at Emacs Conf 2019.

Exactly the point I'm pushing. I hasten to add that I'm not claiming the alternatives are bad. Just not as rosy as often pushed.
