Have used Vagrant for that, worked well, but not popular these days. Spins up a VM, you check in a script to install everything you need inside it.
Docker Compose isn’t bad for that either. Can specify a bunch of components such a databases, and a Dockerfile can specify what you need in your main container such as particular versions of Java or whatever.
Not to say all projects are using these things. But they’re out there, and can be used if the developers want.
