VS Code Logpoints<\/a> is now supported in the Java Debugger. Logpoints allow you to inspect the state and send output to debug console without changing the source code and explicitly adding logging statements. Unlike breakpoints, logpoints don\u2019t stop the execution flow of your application.<\/p>\n To make debugging even easier, you can now skip editing the \u201claunch.json\u201d<\/em> file by either clicking the CodeLens on top of the \u201cmain\u201d<\/em> function or using the F5 shortcut to debug the current file in Visual Studio Code.<\/p>\n TestNG support was added to the newest version of the Java Test Runner<\/a>. With the new release, we\u2019ve also updated the UI\u2019s of the test explorer and the test report. See how you can work with TestNG in Visual Studio Code.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve also enhanced our JUnit 5 support with new annotations, such as @DisplayName and @ParameterizedTest.<\/p>\n Another notable improvement in the Test Runner is that we\u2019re no longer loading all test cases during startup. Instead, the loading now only happens when necessary, e.g. when you expand a project to see the test classes in the Test viewlet. This should reduce the resource needed on your environment and enhance the overall performance of the tool.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve included the recently released Java Dependency Viewer<\/a> to the Java Extension Pack<\/a> as more and more developers are asking for the package view, dependency management and project creation capability provided by this extension. The viewer also provides a hierarchy view of the package structure.<\/p>\n As the user base of Java developers using Visual Studio Code is expanding around the world, we decided to make our tool even easier to use for our users internationally by offering translated UI elements. Chinese localization is now available for Maven<\/a> and Debugger<\/a>, it will soon be available for other extensions as well. We\u2019d also like to welcome contributions from community for localization as well.<\/p>\n During last week\u2019s Microsoft Connect()<\/a> event, we shared updates on the popular Visual Studio Live Share<\/a> and Visual Studio IntelliCode<\/a> features. The new IDE capabilities \u2013 all of which support Java \u2013 provide you with even better productivity with enhanced collaboration and coding experience that you can try now in Visual Studio Code.<\/p>\n Just download the extensions for Live Share<\/a> and IntelliCode<\/a> to experience those new features with your friends and co-workers. Happy coding and happy collaborating!<\/p>\n When you navigate to a class in some libraries without source code, you can now attach the missing source zip\/jar using the context menu \u201cAttach Source\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n Your feedback and suggestions are especially important to us and will help shaping our products in future. Please help us by taking this survey<\/a> to share your thoughts!<\/p>\n Please don\u2019t hesitate to try Visual Studio Code for your Java development and let us know your thoughts! Visual Studio Code is a lightweight and performant code editor and our goal is to make it great for the entire Java community.<\/p>\n We’re proud to announce an update to the Java Extension Pack, including new Language Support for Java(TM) by Red Hat, Debugger for Java, Maven, Java Test Runner and Java Dependency Viewer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":668,"featured_media":226936,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,15],"tags":[16,23,24,12],"class_list":["post-222659","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-desktop","category-vscode","tag-announcement","tag-eclipse-jdt-language-server","tag-java-test-runner","tag-visual-studio-code"],"acf":[],"blog_post_summary":" We’re proud to announce an update to the Java Extension Pack, including new Language Support for Java(TM) by Red Hat, Debugger for Java, Maven, Java Test Runner and Java Dependency Viewer.<\/p>\n","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/java\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222659","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/java\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/java\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/java\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/668"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/java\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=222659"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/java\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222659\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/java\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/226936"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/java\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=222659"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/java\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=222659"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/java\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=222659"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/06\/Rename.gif\")
