FR: please add a vscode-java-pack-free variant #993

Open GitMensch opened 2 years ago

GitMensch commented 2 years ago

Suggestion

A version without IntelliCode.

Use Cases

Usability of this extension pack in environments that are not eligible to use that specific extension - which is the only one of the set that isn't MIT-licensed and "may [be] install[ed] and use[d] [...] solely with Microsoft Visual Studio family of products".

Examples

Just adjust the release process to create another extension next to the current one, possibly "vscjava.vscode-java-pack-mit" or "vscjava.vscode-java-free" or similar.

Alternative

The much better alternative would be to adjust the license of VisualStudioExptTeam.vscodeintellicode, at least to explicit allow installation and usage with any vscode based product, or even better to allow unlimited usage. But I have no illusion that this is going to happen...

hmm interesting, however i would suggest that you take this to the intelliCode team...

GitMensch commented 2 years ago

The only thing that would be useful to take to the intelliCode team is the alternative (and if you consider this the solution it would be better to "internally" discuss this between the teams).

What do you think about the suggested free variant of the pack?

I am going to necro this old one as I second the wish to have a version without IntelliCode (visualstudioexptteam.vscodeintellicode) but for different reasons. The extension pack is included in the Java devcontainer ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/java and as such the IntelliCode extensions are force fed to everybody using that devcontainer which is is bit much. Besides, AI assisted shit is not really an essential for feature for the extension pack unless the agenda is to lock everybody into a specific ecosystem.
