Visual Studio Code Extensions

The GraalVM team provides extensions for Visual Studio Code (VS Code) to help improve developer productivity. The extensions make VS Code a comfortable and convenient integrated development environment for GraalVM developers.

The following extensions are available for download from the VS Code Marketplace:

• GraalVM Tools for Java provides full Java development and debugging capabilities and includes the GraalVM runtime with both just-in-time and ahead-of-time compilers. Besides Java, this extension enables a polyglot environment in VS Code and offers full editing and debugging capabilities for JavaScript and Node.js, Python, R, and Ruby languages. The extension provides a wizard to install GraalVM and help simplify configuring the development environment. Get the extension from Visual Studio Code Marketplace.

• GraalVM Tools for Micronaut provides full support for developing applications based on the Micronaut framework. You can create Micronaut projects, run and debug them directly from VS Code with different debugging protocols.

You can generate native executables directly from VS Code, and deploy them to a Docker Registry. Get the extension from Visual Studio Code Marketplace.
