VS Code plugin for OpenJDK development

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

Hi,
I'm giving this a try, it seems to work very very well.

I could open the java.base and jdk.compiler modules, and all indexing 
seems to work correctly.

Two questions:

* is there any way to tell the plugin to use preview features? I get 
lots of red squiggly lines in tests that use such features
* is there any way to run jtreg tests? I tried clicking on "run w/o 
debug" but I get "internal error".

Thanks
Maurizio
