Previously, the import for Android projects would silently fail and most of the core Java features won’t work. Improvement of Android project importĪpart from protobuf projects, we have also improved the support for Android projects. When clicked yes, our extensions will generate the code and all the “unrecognized type” errors will go away! Here is a quick demo to show this feature.

If a “.protobuf” file is detected, you will see a prompt from Visual Studio Code asking if you want to generate Java source code out of your proto files. In our latest release, we have added support for “protobuf” projects. This is because our extensions couldn’t detect the proto file properly, therefore required code is not generated and the generated code won’t found. Previously, if a Java project involves protobuf, our Java extensions won’t work very well and you will be likely to encounter lots of unrecognized classes. Protocol Buffers ( Protobuf) is a free and open-source cross-platform data format used to serialize structured data. We have tons of exciting new features this time, and there are improvements in many areas such as project import, Spring support, remote debugging and unit testing, so let’s get started! Protobuf (Protocol Buffer) project support Hi everyone, welcome to the September update of Visual Studio Code Java.
