A Visual Studio Code extension providing Java language support via the Eclipse JDT Language Server. It offers code completion, navigation, refactoring, debugging, and Maven/Gradle project integration for Java 1.8 through Java 26.

Use cases

• write and edit Java code in VS Code with IntelliSense
• get code completion and error reporting for Java files
• import and work with Maven or Gradle projects in VS Code
• refactor and organize imports in Java code
• debug Java applications from the editor
• navigate Java code with type hierarchy and call hierarchy

When to choose

• you develop Java in Visual Studio Code and want full IDE-like features
• your projects use Maven or Gradle and need integrated build support
• you want a free, actively maintained Java language server extension

When to avoid

• you use IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse IDE, which have deeper native Java tooling
• you need support for Java versions older than 1.8
• you work in an editor other than VS Code
