Java Discord API EP-1 | Setting Up Maven

Hello you beautiful people! I hope everyone is having an amazing and wonderful day. In this video I help you setup Maven, which we'll use to install JDA to create Discord Bots. We use WSL, as Linux is much easier to setup a Java Coding environment! And then we use Visual Studio Code as our IDE and to access our WSL Instance! In the next video, we'll learn how to install JDA using Maven and make our first Discord Bot go online! Remember to stay hydrated, as coding can be distracting. Always take care of yourself first! I apologize if my voice sounds kind of dead, I was a bit sick during this recording.

Sounds like an interesting series. However, wouldn't it be simpler for the end-user (people who watch this series) to use a fully featured IDE like IntelliJ, Eclipse or even Netbeans? I feel like a lot of configuration is always required to use Java with VSC when these IDEs can do all of the hard work for you and boost your development experience.
