The dev team's Code Action tweak effectively enables developers to 'Lombok' their code, Microsoft said, or 'DeLombok' the annotations they don't want anymore by deselecting them.Īnd, speaking of annotations, in yet another improvement the team enhanced its code analysis capabilities by adding support for and annotations.

Lombok uses annotations for this task in order to streamline things like coding getters and setters. Project Lombok, which received full support in the July 2022 update to Microsoft's Java on VS Code extensions, is designed to reduce boilerplate code, the amount of which is historically notorious in many Java projects. Inline Breakpoints in Animated Action (source: Microsoft).Īlong with enhancing debugging, the dev team also implemented some code editing improvements concerning convenient Lombok operations when a user clicks on the Code Action lightbulb that triggers Quick Fixes. That new functionality is demonstrated in this animated GIF: This will provide you much easier debugging experience for these lambda expressions.' 'If you want to further set inline breakpoints on those lambda expressions, you can directly click on those grey dots, and the grey dots will turn into red dots like normal breakpoints, then the debugger will stop at these breakpoints during the code execution.

'Now when you set a breakpoint on this line, Visual Studio Code will automatically identify the lambda expressions in this line, and visualize them with grey dots,' Microsoft said. Stream.of('Frank').map(name -> name.toUpperCase()).forEach((item -> (item)) More about this feature is available in Oracle's Java Magazine article, ' Coming to Java 19: Virtual threads and platform threads.'ĭebugging in Java on VS Code is further improved with new functionality that provides a visual indicator for inline breakpoints in a line of code like this:
