Newbie in Java backend development: How to choose project management tools?

Many friends who are beginners in back-end Java development will face the problem of choosing project management tools. This article will answer common confusions a newbie encounters when using Java project management tools.

This novice is mainly concerned with two issues: one is whether Maven should be used in Java development or IntelliJ IDEA's own project management function; the other is whether to use Maven built-in Maven or download and install it separately.

First of all, we need to clarify the relationship between Maven, IDE and JDK. JDK is a Java development toolkit, IDEs (such as IntelliJ IDEA) are integrated development environments, and Maven is a powerful project management and build tool for managing project dependencies and build processes. For Java projects, Maven is a more professional and widely used project management tool, so it is recommended to use Maven.

Secondly, as to whether to download Maven separately, it is recommended that novices directly use the Maven that comes with IntelliJ IDEA. Although some tutorials are recommended to download separately, and I think that IDEA's built-in Maven configuration is inconvenient, in fact, the new version of IntelliJ IDEA has optimized Maven integration, which is very convenient to use. In order to simplify configuration, it is even recommended that JDK also uses the download function that comes with IDEA.

I hope that the above answers can help Java backend developers better understand and choose appropriate project management tools, thereby improving development efficiency and successfully starting the backend development journey.
