well last time I tried it in windows java and python was not included. Also there was a lot of targets missing.

The simple use case, of being able to develop/build/debug within the IDE....especially debugging is important. setting breakpoints on the lines and viewing variables is what students learn todo.

Students want to do all development within the IDE, and I do not see why it should be impossible.
