He did say "one of the big three IDEs", I'm not sure about the third but I would assume that includes Eclipse and NetBeans.

Any versioning tool that does checkin-checkout should be fine.  I haven't used github.  I use the git tool with the free GUI program SourceTree.

I haven't needed tools like maven or frameworks like Spring for my personal Java project (small business, I wrote the entire API myself with a little help on a couple classes) but you will need both for most Java businesses.
