The vscode-java extension started as an experiment by Red Hat's Gorkem Ercan in May 2016. As we release version 1.0.0, it's a great opportunity to look back at how this project started, what has been accomplished, and plans for the future Background

Since the start of the " Language Support for Java by Red Hat" (vscode-java) extension for VS Code, the goal has always been to provide the kind of Java support one would expect from any IDE. This release would not have been possible without your help, and we appreciate everyone who has given us feedback or contributed to the project. This is the product of a multi-year collaboration between Red Hat, Microsoft, and members of the Java developer community at large. The 1.0 release includes support for Java 17, type hierarchy and a number of performance improvements.

Red Hat is excited to announce that today we are shipping the 1.0 release of Language Support for Java by Red Hat on Visual Studio Code.
