For Java, the short answer is "no".

You can try CEDET, various modes for Java (malabar, old jde, etc.), but
AFAIK they'll not just "replace" IntelliJ as you'd expect it.  And there
is a justification for that - IntelliJ requires a lot of resources, it
eats RAM, indexes everything and is generally slow.  The good news is
that in Emacs you can use clever text editing facilities, record a macro
/ write a function for whatever you want (like generating
getters/setters).

Debugger is available as `jdb' in emacs unified debugger - `gud'.
Command-line compilation and stepping through errors is, of course,
available as usual with `M-x compile'.

Perhaps other people will tell more about tight integration.
