VS Code plugin for OpenJDK development

[Jan Lahoda]

Hi Maurizio,

Thanks for trying out, and for your comments.

Regarding --enable-preview, I believe there's currently no way, but I'll add --enable-preview to all test parsing (first I thought I could parse the compile tags, but it seems it is not quite straightforward to do, and --enable-preview by should not be too bad for tests).

Regarding tests, seems there were some changes recently. I'll need to discuss what and how needs to be done. Assuming jtreg was specified while configuring the JDK build, there should be "Run main" and "Debug main" over main method in the test (and there may be something similar for TestNG), and for a certain test I tried, that worked. Does not sadly show the output/result under VS Code currently. Run Start Debugging might work as well, Run without Debugger is trying to run an action the OpenJDK projects don't support, and hence that does not work.

Jan

Hi Martin,
that's the plugin I installed and tried out.

I also found that wiki page, and I had some questions - see:
