Improve Visual Studio (not Code) support for Java #11

Another thing that would help would be bringing the Java development experience to Visual Studio as well.

There is some support in Code, but not everyone likes to use Electron based applications and Visual Studio already has some support due to Android workloads, it would be great to improve it further.

@pjmlp What can Visual Studio do today that other Java IDEs (IntelliJ, Eclipse) cannot?

pjmlp commented 3 years ago

I work as Java/.NET consultant, so having good Java support on Visual Studio, would free some space, which even in today's time is quite valuable, specially on laptops given by IT departments to external contributors.

Other than that, yes, I happen to have Eclipse and Netbeans installed (not a fan on InteliJ).
