That is an unfair and disgenuine argument. Nobody is suggesting people
don't LEARN how things work. You asked how to get something to work, not
how to learn about how the Java build process works. Going by your answer,
I would suggest you abandon Java completely, and instead focus on learning
Assembler, which of course you should only ever write using Notepad.
Obligatory link to the Story of Mel:

Every few years, someone links this, and every time, I read it again to my
great delight. As my life progresses, it's interesting for me to note how
my view of Mel changed over the years - from uncompromising and unreflected
hero worship when I was still young and a cowboy, to "I hope I never have
to fix code like that" when I started working on multi-person projects for
the first time, to "I hope I never have a coworker like that", ending with
"I hope I never have an employee like that".
Mel is, at once, the best and the worst aspects of a clever programmer.
Liebe Gruesse,
