VS Code Vert.x Starter Extension

Hi Vert.x com­mu­nity! Today, we are re­ally ex­cited to an­nounce the Vi­sual Stu­dio Code Vert.x Starter ex­ten­sion.

The ex­ten­sion is a com­mu­nity con­tri­bu­tion made by Daniel Petisme (@danielpetisme).

Usage

Vi­sual Stu­dio Code is a pop­u­lar code ed­i­tor with a lot of ad­di­tional ex­ten­sions.

Vi­sual Stu­dio Code Vert.x Starter ex­ten­sion al­lows you to:

• Cre­ate a Vert.x project
• Cus­tomize the cre­ation (Vert.x ver­sion, lan­guage, build tool, groupId, artifactId, pack­age name, JDK ver­sion)
• Search for de­pen­den­cies

The ex­ten­sion can be con­fig­ured to match your con­text (e.g. defin­ing your de­fault com­pany groupId).

How it works

Be­hind the scene, the ex­ten­sion re­lies on the Vert.x ap­pli­ca­tion gen­er­a­tor API and demon­strate how easy it is to de­velop your own IDE plug­in or cus­tom tool­ing to gen­er­ate Vert.x projects. For fur­ther de­tails about the start.vertx.io API, please refer to the Vert.x Starter project on GitHub.
