This is kind of a newbie question... but how does one develop java code through SSH?

I thought SSH was run through terminal command line. ie. all text. I can understand coding in vim with python or ruby through the command line. I'm not sure how its done with languages that need an IDE? like java

No languages strictly need an IDE. I don't really work with Java so I can't comment with how well you'd get it integrated in VIM. There are a few tips here that could help [0].

That's a great point. I definitely won't be doing any large Java Projects over SSH however I do occasionally like to code a quick algorithm proof-of-concept in Java (it's my language of choice).
