## Overview
A lightweight extension to provide additional Java project explorer features. It works with [Language Support for Java by Red Hat](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=redhat.java) 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.
```json
"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:
```json
"java.project.referencedLibraries": {
"include": [
"library/**/*.jar",
"/home/username/lib/foo.jar"
],
"exclude": [
"library/sources/**"
],
"sources": {
"library/bar.jar": "library/sources/bar-src.jar"
}
}
```
