I use Eclipse day in and day out for all my programming work.
For a long time I have programmed in Java and Python, but now 
exclusively in Python with the pydev extention.
So you can certainly use Eclipse with Java including the git support 
which is accessible too.
If you wish I can send you a link to an uploaded version of accessible 
Eclipse version which I am using with Ubuntu 16.04 unity.
I am aware that recent gtk3 based versions are having issues, but I 
haven't used it because I did not feel the need to upgrade from Juno.
It does pretty much all that an advanced programmer expects from an IDE.
Happy hacking.
