Project Manager for Java

Manage Java projects in Visual Studio Code

Overview

A lightweight extension to provide additional Java project explorer features. It works with Language Support for Java by Red Hat to provide the following features:

Project View

Manage Dependencies

You can work with JAR files directly without any build tools. Go to JAVA PROJECTS view, find the Referenced Libraries node and click the + icon:

If you want to fine-tune this, go to settings.json and look for the java.project.referencedLibraries entry.

"java.project.referencedLibraries": [
    "library/**/*.jar",
    "/home/username/lib/foo.jar"
]

You can tell that the glob pattern is supported. And here's more - you can include/exclude certain files, and attach source JARs:

"java.project.referencedLibraries": {
    "include": [
        "library/**/*.jar",
        "/home/username/lib/foo.jar"
    ],
    "exclude": [
        "library/sources/**"
    ],
    "sources": {
        "library/bar.jar": "library/sources/bar-src.jar"
    }
}
