I actually think that would mostly confuse a lot of new undergrads. Fundamentals first, variety later (but it's definitely important!)

I agree. The intro class should use whatever IDE & config will most enable them to teach the fundamentals.
Understanding the details of packages and javac and other things should be left for a later class which can put them in the context of other languages.
