The 2nd year students I interacted with weren't aware of those and they weren't available in the PC labs at the university. I think there was something called BlueJ IDE as a learning tool.

That sounds like a teaching problem instead of a tooling problem.

Snark aside, I think there's value in teaching the basics first (e.g. compiling stuff with javac) before moving on to using magic to hide the complexity.
