I just tried VsCode for Java development. Frankly I wasn't expecting much as Java is one of those languages that requires a lot of ide features to be useful. Previously used heavyweights like eclipse and Netbeans. And you know what? Installing the official Java plugin results in a really nice experience. The debugger is good, the hints and documentation work. Not tried the refactoring tools under anger yet though. I didn't have to touch any of the settings. Hats off to Microsoft.
