[Martin Balin]

Hi Maurizio,
There is a NetBeans VSCode extension which allows to work with OpenJDK sources
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ASF.apache-netbeans-java

Description how to setup JDK sources is here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+Extension+for+Visual+Studio+Code
section Scenario 3: Open OpenJDK Source

Hope you will find it useful

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!

Hi all,

I've been using Visual Studio Code for most of my OpenJDK development needs for quite some time now, and grown very fond of it. A year ago or so, I wrote a plugin to support me in my daily tasks. It is available here:

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=magicus.openjdk-devel

After a year of testing, I think it has proven its worth (to me, at least), and I feel ready to recommend it to my fellow developers. The plugin currently gives you a separate view with Github integration, showing your notifications for OpenJDK projects, your personal PRs, and open PRs for a set of chosen tags (i.e. areas you want to watch).

My initial idea was to add support for JBS integration as well, but that part is stalled until our Jira instance gets proper support for access tokens. :-(

If you have suggestions or improvements, feel free to open an issue or PR here:
