How to install Java with Visual Studio Code (vscode) in under 5 minutes.
Install Visual Studio Code: code.visualstudio.com/
Install Java Coding Pack: code.visualstudio.com/docs/ja...
Open vscode, and create new file. Name it whatever you want, but be sure to include the .java extension.
Ex) Create a file named Test.java and add the following code. Make sure the file name is exactly the same as the class name.
class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("HELLO WORLD JAVA");
}
}
Simple click the run button and you should see the output "HELLO WORLD JAVA".
You can also create a Java project by clicking Ctrl + Shift + P at the same time. Type in java create, and click on the Java: Create Java Project.
And, there you have it! How to setup Java for Visual Studio Code in under 5 minutes.

If you want to disable the parameter help box, in VSCode, on the bottom left there is a gear icon. Click on that, select settings. Search for "Java Inlay". Scroll down to where you see:
*JavaScript › Inlay Hints › Parameter Names: Enabled*
In the dropdown menu, select None. Scroll down a bit further and you'll see another:
*Java › Inlay Hints › Parameter Names: Enabled*
*Java › Inlay Hints › Parameter Names: Exclusions can be used to disable the inlay hints for methods.*
Once again, in the dropdown menu, select None.
Alternatively, you can open the settings.json file. To open this, press Ctrl+Shift+P at the same time, type in "settings.json" and select "Preference: Open User Settings (JSON)". Add this to the JSON file:
"java.inlayHints.parameterNames.enabled": "none",

Error pls help ig its about PATH idk how to fix it

[@cemre6263]

I solved it. To solve this problem go cmd and type
java -version
javac -version
The versions must be same ex: 17.0.8
if they are different than press windowkey + R and type sysdm.cpl than go advanced than go envromental variables and check JAVA_HOME in user variables and PATH in system variables. Be sure that you checked the first variable in PATH
if they are different for example JAVA_HOME shows 17.0.8 version and 8.1.0 in PATH (first/top variable) than you must delete 8.1.0 in PATH and you should put 17.0.8 version of javac to top of PATH with clicking edit. After all click ok buttons and restart cmd and vsc. It should work now.

[@spurthim4528]

I am not able to run the program….. I mean it’s not working is there any kind of extension to be installed??

[@LoStFoReVeRiNtImE]

Use code runner extension

[@shades3692]

At first, the terminal was unresponsive, but closing and opening VSC fixed my issue. Great video, man thx a lot!

Hello, I want to ask something. Every time I open the vs code, a message saying "Java projects are opening, check the details" appears. It wasn't there before, is it normal? The laptop gets very hot while this is happening, that's why I asked.

[@samcodebreakerkenya]

Thanks alot for this. I appriciate this simple video

[@SpideySpider]

TIP FOR ANYONE WHO IS HAVING TROUBLE RUNNING THE SCRIPT (NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN YOU RUN IT)!!!
If nothing appears in the terminal when you run it that means that you have to restart visual studio code AFTER you installed java
took me a while to figure out but here it is!

[@somename7104]

[@ahmedhassan5783]

[@DavidCourtney]

I'm just trying to run the Hello World example, but when I click on Run, I get "Homework1.java is a non-project file, only syntax errors are reported" in the Problems tab.

[@duhanavc6773]

did you solve it I get the same message

[@DavidCourtney]

@@duhanavc6773 In my case, the problem turned out to be that I had a bad setting in the settings.json file located at C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Code\User
I deleted the settings.json file and everything started working. The reason my settings.json file was messing up Java was because I had been experimenting with Rust programming about a year prior, and my settings.json had some lines in there to get cargo working for Rust. And for whatever reason, those settings were conflicting with what Java was trying to do. Rather than figure out how to make the settings.json file work with Java while keeping my Rust settings, I opted to just delete the settings.json file ... and Java started working for me.
Given that my particular situation probably doesn't match yours, I'm guessing what I did won't help you, but you can give it a try.
