VS Code plugin for OpenJDK development

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

Hi Magnus,
this is great news. While I've been working on IntelliJ support for 
quite a bit, I was too thinking about VSCode, especially for the ability 
to work with Java and CPP simultaneously. There's already some support 
to work on VM code with VsCode. The Java support is missing AFAIK, as 
well as ability to run and debug jtreg tests, which we have with 
IntelliJ. But I welcome any initiative to make OpenJDK more accessible 
to more IDEs!
