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

Create Java Projects

Export Jar

Note: For Spring Boot projects, please use the build tool to build the executable jar, for example: mvn package.

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.

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

Stay Secure and Up to Date

Project Manager for Java keeps an eye on your project's Java runtime and dependencies, so you don't have to track them yourself. When it spots something worth your attention, it offers a one-click recommendation to fix it:

• Upgrade recommendations – Get notified when your Java runtime or libraries are out of date, deprecated, or have reached end of life, along with a suggested target version. • Security recommendations – Get alerted when known vulnerabilities (CVEs) are detected in your dependencies, so you can address them before they become a problem.

When you accept a recommendation, the upgrade or fix is carried out for you by the GitHub Copilot app modernization extension. If the extension isn't installed yet, it will be set up automatically as part of the flow.

You can turn these reminders on or off at any time with the java.dependency.enableDependencyCheckup setting.
