Duplicates IntelliJ's existing run-and-debug features
From 1 comment
Isn't this just reinventing the wheel and just replicating a built in IDE feature? I.e. what is wrong with Intellij's existing right click-execute on a single junit test method…

Clojure REPL and jshell
From 2 comments
when i want to play with java stuff interactively i just actually open it up in clojure repl
