You can contribute a VSCode Java Extension to enhance the existing VSCode Java features. Follow these steps to contribute an extension.
You can follow the tutorialhere to start your own VSCode extension
Put aserver bundle together with your current VS Code extension (in a./server subfolder, for example), and add the following code snippet to thecontributes section of your extension's package.json. Thus, the language server will discover your plugin for later usage.
"contributes": {"javaExtensions": ["./server/my.java.plugin.jar"],}
If you want to communicate with the plugin, add the following code in your extension:
// This should be your command ("my.java.command") corresponding to your server plug-in extension point registration:functionsendMyCommandToJavaLanguageServer(arg){returnexecuteJavaLanguageServerCommand("my.java.command",arg);}// This is the VSCode Java command for language server protocol workspace/executeCommand:functionexecuteJavaLanguageServerCommand(...rest){returnvscode.commands.executeCommand("java.execute.workspaceCommand", ...rest);}
