The first lab of my second programming course in University involved making sure that every student knew how to compile and run Java programs on the command line. The reason the Prof gave for this exercise was, to paraphrase, that he was tired of dealing with grad students who have no command line knowledge.
It is certainly possible to get through a computer science undergrad at (to borrow Spolsky's term) a Java School and have absolutely no knowledge about Unix nor the command line. "Modern" tools like Eclipse and IntelliJ hide all of that stuff away.
That is a good point, I majored in Computer Engineering, so my experience is a little bit different (kind of hard to cross compile to various embedded platforms without using a command line).
