"Meghanada" is great，but it seems that it has some extra requirements,
such as "tested only linux (maybe macOS OK). windows not support." and
"require Java 8".

I have tried emacs-eclim, it is too slow to write code. So I still
simply use java-mode. Anyway, I just write some toy project with Java,
so it doesn't matter so much.
