Past a very baby level you kinda need to know the JVM world a bit. Lots of keywords like "classpath", Maven, reflection etc..

You def don't need to know Java as a whole, but it was actually a little challenging and confusing to catch up on the relevant JVM bits.

Educational material either doesn't use it at all or assumes you know it
