Best tools to build web app using Java in 2018?

Question

Hi! I would like to ask You, which tools You consider as best option to build a web app using JAVA. Till the end of last year I had been working mainly with PHP, now I'm trying to convert as much as possible to JAVA, as IMHO PHP has (little) less to offer in a long-term perspective.

EDIT: the question is more related to frameworks, but in terms of IDE You can always share Your suggestions. I would appreciate them all.

I would appreciate pros and cons for proposed solutions.
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I will edit my question to be more specific - IDE is ofc IntelliJ. After almost year of using it (very similar to PHP Storm and DataGrip, they share the same engine) I would change it only for Eclipse if I had to. I'm more concerned about frameworks :) Hibernate and Spring, but ... maybe something else could be handy?
