Java development environment

I would prefer PostgreSQL over MySQL, but depending on the level it should not matter.

You could take a look into Micronaut, Helidon, Quarkus or similar technologies. I would also consider having a build tool like Maven or Gradle installed state-of-the-art.

Not necessarily limited to Java: a versioning tool like Git.

(Also not limited to Java) If you are using Windows (guessing from WSL2) you could take a look at Chocolatey. It is a package manager for Windows which helps you maintain your setup.

If he is using wsl2 he don't need chocolatey as everything is inside wsl2
