Good point. I had forgotten that you need to create projects,

Certainly a set of Chapter 1, Chapter 2 etc. projects seems like

they'd like to keep their first program safe before messing with their
second one.
Well yeah. If you take your time you can figure it out. But it is often a stumbling block for newbies. They tend to get impatient and try some totally different approach.
So using the command line and getting a classpath correct which is
provided by an IDE (just like the IDE may provides a JDK as you point out) is supposed to be conceptually less difficult than picking a place to organize files? Hmm, I'm not convinced.
Oh yes, I don't forget to complete the installation instructionsHuh?
for a JDK download,
Sorry typo. "[and] don't forget to complete the installation ..."
Why? (1) Because learning to run something from the command line is a useful bit of knowledge unless all programs are just learning exercises; (2) It is good to know how to run something "by hand" even if everything
is just an exercise.
you'll probably need that anyway regardless of what
IDE you use.
You can get both with Netbeans . . . I'm sure there's others that do the same.
Of course modified by the need to separately agree to the EULA for the JDK which typically requires the JDK be installed first. This is a negative to a newbie using jumping right to an IDE whatever the IDE.
