We already have coding tuned models i.e. Codex. We should just have language / technology specific models with a focus on recent / modern usage.

Problem with something like Java is too old -- too many variants. Make a cut off like at least above Java 8 or 17.

The “just” part is a big assumption. It is far from easy, given that modern best practices are always underspecified. The effective model for coding must have reasoning signals to be much stronger than coding patterns, and that, I suspect, requires very different architecture.
