    If your use for the system is programming, then Kali isn't the distro for you. If you don't have an advanced knowledge of Linux, which it looks as though you don't, then Kali definitely isn't for you. Kali Linux is for penetration testing and is designed for those who already have an advanced knowledge of Linux. A better distro for you use would be Debian, Ubuntu, or Mint as they are all of the same family with Ubuntu and Kali being forked from Debian and Mint being forked from Ubuntu. The others are far more user friendly and better for beginners.

    As I stated, if you don't understand what the package manager (apt) does, then your knowledge of Linux isn't advanced enough to use Kali. It's not for programming and isn't nor is it for someone who lacks a basic understanding.

Kali Linux is based on Debian where default-jdk is a "recommended" or best Java SDK version which currently is openjdk-11-jdk. If you need Java 15 you need to install openjdk-15-jdk which (based on the Kali Linux Package Tracker) should be available in Kali.
