VSApacheNetBeans, the Apache NetBeans Extension for Visual Studio Code, created as a promotional tool by the Apache NetBeans community for VS Code users. Install VSApacheNetBeans into VS Code, use it, and maybe you'll want to try the complete Apache NetBeans experience, which is Apache NetBeans.
VS Code already has support for Java, provided by an extension created by Red Hat, though what that extension misses are the following features that VSApacheNetBeans provides out of the box:
- Support for JDK 8. (The Red Hat extension requires JDK 11 or above.)
- Polyglot debugging.
- Support for OpenJDK projects.
Getting Started
Get VSApacheNetBeans from the VS Code market place, once it is available there.
