...
- Support for JDK 8. (The Red Hat extension requires JDK 11 or above.)
- Polyglot debugging.
- Support for OpenJDK projects.
Getting Started
Get VSApacheNetBeans the latest Apache NetBeans VSCode extension from the official VS Code market place
or download the latest development version of Apache NetBeans Language Server extension and install it into VSCode via Install from VSIX...
...
Then, enjoy browsing and editing the OpenJDK sources!
Scenario 4: GraalVM Sources
Get the Graal repository (or related repositories like Graal.js, Graal Python, etc.) and prepare it for development (most importantly make sure the mx tool is on PATH
). Then select a suite (graal/sdk
, graal/truffle
, graal/compiler, etc.
) and build it using mx build
. Then open the suite in code
as a folder (_File/Open Folder_). Wait for the Apache NetBeans Language Server extension to be initialized (shows Indexing finished in the status line). Use Ctrl-O to open any Java file. Edit, use code completions provided by the system, open tests, run and debug them. Open a test class, locate @Test
method to debug and choose Debug :
The system invokes mx build
and mx unittest ...
automatically for you and connects debugger to the started JVM. Then it's up to you to step through the code, hit breakpoints, etc. Should you debug Truffle language (like JavaScript, Python, etc.), the debugger steps in and shows you the guest language statements - see scenario 2 for more details.
Should you need to explicitly build from the code
choose Ctrl+Shift-P and type Java: Compile Workspace - that invokes mx build
.
