Oracle has released the Oracle Java Platform extension for Visual Studio Code, bringing full-featured Java development for Maven and Gradle projects to Microsoft’s popular code editor.
Available in the VS Code portion of the Visual Studio Marketplace, the Oracle Java Platform extension was unveiled October 18. The extension covers the development cycle from editing to compiling to debugging and testing, Oracle said, with class-level and variable refactorings supported. The initial release offers features such as a project view, auto-completion, error highlighting, and jump-to-definition capabilities, along with unit testing support for Junit.
