Eclipse and NetBeans eat their own dog food but I haven't used them in 
ages. The Arduino IDE uses it but that's not exactly mainstream. The 
IntelliJ IDE is Java and was the basis for Android Studio although Google 
has moved to Kotlin. I think kotlin is lipstick on the JVM.

JasperReports is a real steaming pile and not a great recommendation.


It is used on the backend. I believe LinkedIn, Uber, Netflix, and others 
use it. It's around and isn't going away anytime soon but then Fortran 77 
is still in use.
