[![License](https://img.shields.io/github/license/redhat-developer/vscode-java?style=for-the-badge&logo=eclipse)](https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-java/blob/master/LICENSE)



Provides Java ™ language support via

[Eclipse ™ JDT Language Server](https://github.com/eclipse/eclipse.jdt.ls), which utilizes

[Eclipse ™ JDT](http://www.eclipse.org/jdt/), [M2Eclipse](http://www.eclipse.org/m2e/) and [Buildship](https://github.com/eclipse/buildship).



Quick Start

============

1. Install the Extension

2. On the following platforms, the extension should activate without any setup : `win32-x64`, `darwin-x64`, `darwin-arm64`, `linux-x64`, `linux-arm64`.\

If on another platform, or using the "universal" version, you can [set](#setting-the-jdk) a _Java_ Development Kit. It must be Java 17 or above.

3. Optionally, download and install a Java Development Kit for your project (Java 1.8 or above is supported). See [Project JDKs](#project-jdks) for more details

4. Extension is activated when you first access a Java file

    * Recognizes projects with *Maven* or *Gradle* build files in the directory hierarchy.



Features

To launch and debug your Java programs, it's recommended you install *[Java Debug Extension for Visual Studio Code](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vscjava.vscode-java-debug)*.



See the [changelog](CHANGELOG.md) for the latest release. You might also find useful information in the project [Wiki](https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-java/wiki).



Setting the JDK

===============

## Java Tooling JDK

Now that Java extension will publish platform specific versions, it will embed a JRE for supported platforms such as `win32-x64`, `linux-x64`, `linux-arm64`, `darwin-x64`, `darwin-arm64`. The embedded JRE is used to launch the Language Server for Java. Users are only responsible for configuring [Project JDKs](#project-jdks) to compile your Java projects.



The following part is only kept for the universal version without embedded JRE.



>The tooling JDK will be used to launch the Language Server for Java. And by default, will also be used to compile your projects. Java 17 is the minimum required version.\

\

The path to the Java Development Kit can be specified by the `java.jdt.ls.java.home` setting in VS Code settings (workspace/user settings). If not specified, it is searched in the following order until a JDK meets current minimum requirement.

>- the `JDK_HOME` environment variable

>- the `JAVA_HOME` environment variable

>- on the current system path



## Project JDKs

If you need to compile your projects against a different JDK version, it's recommended you configure the `java.configuration.runtimes` property in your user settings, eg:



```json

"java.configuration.runtimes": [

  {

    "name": "JavaSE-1.8",

    "path": "/path/to/jdk-8",

  },

  {

    "name": "JavaSE-11",

    "path": "/path/to/jdk-11",

  },

  {

    "name": "JavaSE-23",

    "path": "/path/to/jdk-23",

    "default": true

  },

]

```

The default runtime will be used when you open standalone Java files.

Semantic Highlighting

===============

[Semantic Highlighting](https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-java/wiki/Semantic-Highlighting) fixes numerous syntax highlighting issues with the default Java Textmate grammar. However, you might experience a few minor issues, particularly a delay when it kicks in, as it needs to be computed by the Java Language server, when opening a new file or when typing. Semantic highlighting can be disabled for all languages using the `editor.semanticHighlighting.enabled` setting, or for Java only using [language-specific editor settings](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings#_languagespecific-editor-settings).



Troubleshooting

===============

1. Check the status of the language tools on the lower right corner (marked with A on image below).

It should show ready (thumbs up) as on the image below. You can click on the status and open the

language tool logs for further information in case of a failure.



![ status indicator ](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/redhat-developer/vscode-java/master/images/statusMarker.png)



2. Read the [troubleshooting guide](https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-java/wiki/Troubleshooting) for collecting informations about issues you might encounter.



3. Report any problems you face to the [project](https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-java/issues).
