The IDE has pretty much obsoleted it.  In IntelliJ for example, you
point at a variable or method, then hit Ctrl-B and it takes you to the
definition where you can see the type information and comments about
the method or variable. Further Java is pretty tight in type checking,
so if you make a mistake the edit-time syntax checking will catch the
problem before it propagates.

Automatic colourising also partly replaces it.

something, I only have to do it once. It saves me endless hours of grumbling.
