Description

🏕 Priority Mandatory 📅 Sprint 4 Core Module-Tools Submit:None

In the day-plan workshop you will need to have a Java Development Kit (JDK) installed.

There are a number of places you can get this from. Microsoft's instructions for installing OpenJDK may be a useful starting point.

Your goal is that from a terminal running java and javac should show output indicating these binaries are installed and are in your $PATH.

Also, install the Java VSCode extension.
