$ git clone https://github.com/apache/netbeans.git $ cd netbeans/
To build the VS Code extension invoke:
netbeans$ ant build netbeans$ cd java/java.lsp.server java.lsp.server$ ant build-vscode-ext -D3rdparty.modules=.*nbjavac.*
The 3rdparty.modules
property doesn't have to be set at all. The resulting extension is then in the build
directory, with the .vsix
extension.
If you want to develop the extension, use these steps for building instead:
netbeans$ cd java/java.lsp.server java.lsp.server$ ant build-lsp-server -D3rdparty.modules=.*nbjavac.* java.lsp.server$ cd vscode vscode$ npm install vscode$ npm run watch
The 3rdparty.modules
property doesn't have to be set at all. This target is faster than building the .vsix
file. Find the instructions for running and debugging below.
Often it is also important to properly clean everything. Use:
java.lsp.server$ ant clean-vscode-server java.lsp.server$ cd ../.. netbeans$ ant clean
Have a sample Maven project, open it in NetBeans first and select the main file for both the Run and Debug actions.
To use the extension created for developement you can run VS Code with following parameter:
vscode$ code --extensionDevelopmentPath=`pwd` path_to_the_maven_project
Or you can open the vscode
folder in code
directly and use F5 to debug the extension's typescript code.
To debug the Java code, launch the NetBeans part of the VS Code system first and specify suitable debug arguments:
vscode$ npm run nbcode -- --jdkhome /jdk-14/ -J-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8000
Connect to the process with Java debugger, setup all breakpoints. Then launch and connect from the VS Code extension:
vscode$ code --extensionDevelopmentPath=`pwd` path_to_the_maven_project
