Tips for using Vim as a Java IDE? [closed]

I’m addicted to Vim, it’s now my de facto way of editing text files.

Being that it’s mainly a text editor and not an IDE, has anyone got tricks for me to make it easier when developing Java apps?

Some questions I have:

  • How do I invoke a maven task without leaving vi?
  • Can I get code completion?
  • How’s the syntax highlighting?

Anything else (other than “Don’t do it!”) that I should know about?
