VS Code Extension for MicroProfile Starter

The MicroProfile Starter extension provides support for generating a MicroProfile Maven project with examples based on the MicroProfile Starter project (https://start.microprofile.io/) in Visual Studio Code. You will be able to generate a project by choosing a MicroProfile version, server and specifications, such as CDI, Config, Health, Metrics, and more. The code for this extension is hosted under the MicroShed organization on GitHub.

Quick Start

• Install the extension
• Launch the VS Code command palette (View -> Command Palette...), then select MicroProfile: Generate a new MicroProfile starter project to run the extension

The extension prompts for the following parameters:

1. groupId
2. artifactId
3. MicroProfile version
4. MicroProfile server
5. Java SE version
6. Build tool
7. MicroProfile specifications
8. A folder to generate the project into
