Java Explorer
A lightweight and efficient Java project explorer for Visual Studio Code, designed to feel at home for developers coming from IntelliJ IDEA.
Features
- Custom Java Icons: Automatically detects and displays specific icons for Java Classes, Interfaces, Abstract Classes, and Enums based on file content analysis.
- Clean UI: Automatically hides
.java extensions in the tree view, similar to IntelliJ IDEA, providing a cleaner and more professional workspace.
- Git Integration: Access Git commands (Commit, Push, Pull, Stage, etc.) directly from the explorer's context menu.
- Compact Folder View: Automatically merges empty intermediate Java packages (e.g.,
com.example.app) into a single tree node for a cleaner workspace.
- Select Opened File (Reveal): Quickly locate and highlight the currently active editor file in the Java Explorer tree with a single click on the "target" icon.
- Auto Reveal: Keep your path in the tree synchronized with your active editor tab automatically (can be toggled in settings).
- Quick Java Creation: Context menu shortcuts to create Java Classes, Interfaces, Enums, Annotations, and Spring-specific components (Controllers, Services, Repositories).
- Standard File Operations: Full support for mass/batch operations (Rename, Copy, Cut, Paste, Delete) within the explorer.
- System Integration: Open files/folders in the terminal or reveal them in your OS file explorer.
- External Libraries (Beta): View your project's JDK and Maven/Gradle dependencies directly in the explorer. Requires the "Language Support for Java™ by Red Hat" extension.
