Improving the reliability of the Java Language Server and reducing project import times.

For cloud-native development, the intention is to deepen integration with both Kubernetes and cloud services such as Azure Spring Cloud. The 2022 roadmap also includes Java 18 support Java 18 itself is due in March. Planned debugging improvements include virtual thread support, debug for compiled classes, faster evaluation in variable views, and lambda expression valuation. Code completion performance improvements are eyed, as well.

įor inner loop development, improved code completion intelligence and optimization for common cases are planned, along with better code snippet generation and shortcuts based on user preference. Several areas of investment have been designated for 2022, including the “inner loop” development experience, cloud-native development, build tools, performance and reliability, and other aspects of the user experience.

There are now more than 1.5 million Java developers using the code editor, Microsoft said. Among the goals is making it easier to migrate to VS Code from other Java IDEs.

Looking to bolster the appeal of Visual Studio Code to Java developers, Microsoft has published a roadmap for bringing new Java-related capabilities to the code editor.
