2. Java Development Kit
(JDK)
The JDK is a software development kit that provides
the necessary tools, libraries, and runtime
environment for Java development. It includes the
Java compiler (javac), runtime environment (JRE),
and other utilities for building Java applications.

3. Build Automation Tool
Build automation tools automate the process of
compiling, testing, and packaging Java applications.
Apache Maven and Gradle are widely used build
automation tools in the Java ecosystem. They
manage dependencies, handle project
configurations, and streamline the build process.

4. Version Control
System (VCS)
A VCS allows developers to track changes to their
code over time, collaborate with other developers,
and easily revert to previous versions if needed. Git,
along with platforms like GitHub or GitLab, is the
most popular VCS used by Java developers.

5. Unit Testing Framework
Unit testing is crucial for ensuring the quality and
correctness of Java code. JUnit is a widely adopted
unit testing framework for Java. It provides
annotations, assertions, and test runners to write
and execute unit tests effectively

6. Static Code Analysis
Static code analysis tools analyze source code to
detect potential bugs, code smells, and security
vulnerabilities without executing the code.
SonarQube and FindBugs are widely used static
analysis tools in the Java ecosystem
