Today we are excited to announce the 1.0 release of Language Support for Java™ by Red Hat on Visual Studio Code. We believe this is a significant milestone for Java support on Visual Studio Code and the result of a multi-year collaboration between Microsoft, Red Hat and the entire Visual Studio Code and Java community. This release wouldn’t have been possible without your support and we want to thank everyone who has provided feedback or made contributions.
Release highlights
When we started with our very first release, our goal was to provide an outstanding Java development experience on Visual Studio Code. Since then, we have maintained a release cycle of 1-2 times per month, through many iterations. In this 1.0 release, we want to highlight some improvements.
Java 17 support
Our focus has always been to support the latest technology provided by the Java language whenever possible. In our 1.0 release, Java 17 is now officially supported on our Java extensions.
