Is this a reasonable way to install via lazy?

[ahakanbaba]

Apologies in advance, I am recently onboarding to neovim and lazy package manager.
Looking at the instructions for installation the steps are simple for lazy.nvim.

I have the following:

In ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvim/lua/plugins/nvim-tree.lua

return {'nvim-java/nvim-java'}

Then in ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvim/init.lua

... 
require('java').setup()
require('lspconfig').jdtls.setup({})
...

Because the nvim-tree.lua does NOT set the config or opts to a value, Lazy would not call the require('java').setup(opts) itself. Is that correct ?

I am also asking about the ordering requirements between the require('java').setup() and require('lspconfig').jdtls.setup({}) . I have them both listed flat in the init.lua file. While that works, I am wondering is there a better idiomatic (n)vim or lazy way to describe that dependency ?

This is more a question about Lazy IMHO, but you should be able to define dependencies between plugins e.g. like this:

return {
    {
        "nvim-java/nvim-java",
        opts = {},
    },
    {
        "neovim/nvim-lspconfig",
         dependencies = {
             "nvim-java/nvim-java",
         },
         config = function()
             require("lspconfig")["jdtls"].setup({})
         end,
    },
}

Yes

Yes. You can find some examples in installation guides.
