Java on Visual Studio Code Update – January 2020

Senior Program Manager

Happy New Year and welcome back to our first update of Java on Visual Studio Code in 2020.

In this update, we’re introducing the long-waited “Call Hierarchy” support along with some Visual Studio Code UI updates which will benefit Java developers a lot. At the same time, new features are also introduced to Debugger and Test Runner. We will also share some other improvements including performance in this post. On to the update.

Call Hierarchy

A call hierarchy view shows all calls from or to a function and allows you to drill into callers of callers and call of calls. Just right-click on the functions and click Peek -> Peek Call Hierarchy.
