Oracle’s Java Platform extension for Visual Studio Code(JPEVSC) brings comprehensive development capabilities for Java to Visual Studio Code.
JPEVSC is a self-contained plugin, packed with all the essential features for programming in Java that doesn’t require any additional extension. It supports build tools like Maven and Gradle, as well as projects without dependency management tools. Furthermore, it provides a range of development features, including code refactoring, application debugging, and running unit tests.
Key features of the JPEVSC extension include Auto-Complete and hints for specific APIs, JDK downloader capability, and support for configuring projects with a different JDK version. The extension also has localization for Japanese and Simplified Chinese languages.
Contributions to the development of the JPEVSC extension are welcomed from the community. Users can provide feedback, automate tests, identify bugs, fix issues, and add enhancements. Code contributions require signing the Oracle Contributor Agreement (OCA).
