Try these new features by installing Java Extension Pack<\/a> with Visual Studio Code. See below for more details!<\/p>\n Editing pom.xml\u00a0<\/em>is a common task for developer when working with Maven project. To make it easier with Visual Studio Code, the\u00a0Maven<\/a> extension now supports code snippet as well as dependency auto-completion. The extension pulls plugin information from your local repository as well as Maven Central to help you choose artifacts and versions as you type.<\/p>\n Maven plugins and their goals are now listed in the explorer along with other Maven resources. You can execute the goals with just a few quick clicks.<\/p>\n Maven explorer now also allows you to switch between flat view and hierarchical view, to your preference.<\/p>\n One of the key performance related scenarios we’re improving for editor performance is loading projects. Two improvements are introduced with this update.<\/p>\n If you want to work with java files directly but don’t bother to create a project, we’ve now got you covered with improved standalone Java file support.<\/p>\n The solution is folder based, so all you need to do is open a folder with Visual Studio Code and all the Java files within the folder will be properly compiled. Then you will be free to run or debug them.<\/p>\n What if you have multiple sub-folders that have source code inside and want to have them handled correctly? Just add these folders to source path, then all the code inside those folders will be correctly compiled.<\/p>\n If you have\u00a0multiple main classes in your workspace, you can have a special launch configuration to launch whatever is in the active editor. This comes handy when you use hot keys. Here’s the new configuration:<\/p>\n After opening a project folder, some extra files will be generated by Java Language Server inside the folder to work properly. Now you can choose to hide those files in Visual Studio Code. When opening a project folder, Java Language Server will ask you how you would like to handle those temporary files. You can hide them globally or just within the current workspace or leave them as-is.<\/p>\n More source actions were added to the language server. Now you can bulk generate getters and setters for all new member variables.<\/p>\n Test configurations are very useful in special test setups. Those configurations were originally stored in launch.test.json<\/em>, which generated lots of confusions according to the user feedback. We listened, and as a result, we deprecated<\/strong> launch.test.json<\/em>, and replaced it with regular VS Code settings. Now, the test configurations stay in\u00a0settings.json<\/em>, which can be global or at the workspace level. And they look like this<\/p>\n For more details, visit Test Runner Configuration<\/a>.<\/p>\n The updated test report now allows you to jump to the definition of a test case directly by click the link in the reports.<\/p>\n As we’ve introduced in our previous blog<\/a>, IntelliCode saves you time by putting what you’re most likely to use at the top of your completion list. After releasing it 3 months ago, we see more and more developers adopting it with great feedbacks. Thus we decided to include it into our\u00a0Java Extension Pack<\/a> so more developers could benefit from AI-assisted coding.<\/p>\n Please don\u2019t hesitate to give it a try! Your feedback and suggestions are very important to us and will help shape our product in future.
