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 Rename, Copy, Cut, Paste, and Delete within the explorer.
• System Integration: Open files/folders in the terminal or reveal them in your OS file explorer.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• java-projects-explorer.autoReveal: Automatically reveal the active file in the Java Explorer tree view (Default: false).
