JBang for Visual Studio Code

This is an early work-in-progress extension for vscode-java. It aims at providing support for the JBang scripts written in Java (and partial support for Kotlin and Groovy).

Pre-requisites:

JBang is installed and available in the PATH. Alternatively, you can set the jbang.home preference to point to a JBang installation
vscode-java is installed.

Outstanding issues:

Modifications to build.jbang files don't trigger autosynchronization nor do they report diagnostics. See jbang-eclipse#25.
The Java Runtime for current file is not displayed in the status bar. See vscode-java#2552.

Features

If you open a folder containing JBang scripts, the first JBang script found will be used to configure a "Project"'s classpath. When configuring the java.import.jbang.projectPerScript setting to true, each script in the folder will be assigned a specific classpath. Toggling this setting requires calling the Java: Clean Java Language Server Workspace command to take effect.
Modifying JBang directives in a file will update the classpath of the file.
Snippets are provided for JBang directives.
Autocompletion for dependencies in //DEPS
Autocompletion for //SOURCES and //FILES
Partial autocompletion for //JAVA_OPTIONS, //JAVAC_OPTIONS, //RUNTIME_OPTIONS and //COMPILE_OPTIONS
Display dependency documentation on completion/hover
JBang scripts can be run/debugged from the Run JBang or Debug JBang codelens, that show on top of the type declaration or main method, if there is one.
If a (.java) script is included in a Maven or Gradle project's hierarchy, right-clicking on the script and selecting JBang > Synchronize JBang will add the script's parent folder to the project's source path and the JBang dependencies will be added to the project's classpath.
Create a new JBang script from an existing template with the JBang: Create a new script command.
Annotation processors are automatically detected and configured.
Partial support for build.jbang files: If a folder containing build.jbang is opened, it'll be used to configure the Java settings of its //SOURCES. Currently, changes in build.jbang require manually triggering the JBang > Synchronize JBang command (via codelens or context menu) to take effect.
Export the script as a native binary, by right-clicking on the script and selecting the JBang > Export as native binary menu. This requires GraalVM to be installed with the native-image extension. See https://www.jbang.dev/documentation/guide/latest/usage.html#build-and-run-native-image-experimental
Install the script as an application available from the path, by right-clicking on the script and selecting the JBang > install application menu. Select the application name and whether to generate a native application or not. See https://www.jbang.dev/documentation/guide/latest/install.html
Automagically configures JBang-managed JDKs, i.e. no need to configure java.configuration.runtimes.
Partial support for Kotlin and Groovy scripts: completion for directive and run command are available, but no classpath management when editing the files.
Autocompletion for JBang catalogs (i.e. jbang-catalog.json files)

Preferences

jbang.home: Specifies the folder path to the JBang directory (not the executable), eg. ~/.sdkman/candidates/jbang/current. On Windows, backslashes must be escaped, eg C:\\ProgramData\\chocolatey\\lib\\jbang. Used by the JBang: Create a new script wizard and the Run JBang code lens. Useful in case jbang is not automatically picked up from the $PATH, for some reason.
jbang.wizard.templates.showDescriptions : When set to true (the default), shows JBang template descriptions in the JBang: Create a new script wizard, else hides them.
java.import.jbang.projectPerScript : When set to true, each script found in the opened folder will be imported as its own project, with its own classpath. false by default. Toggling this setting requires calling the Java: Clean Java Language Server Workspace command to take effect.
jbang.completion.onSelect.autosave : When set to true (the default), automatically save the file after //DEPS completion is selected, so the classpath gets updated.

Installation:

Continuous Integration builds can be installed from the Visual Studio Marketplace, as Pre-release builds. Alternatively, you can head to https://github.com/jbangdev/jbang-vscode/releases/tag/latest, download the most recent jbang-vscode-<version>.vsix file and install it by following the instructions here.

Development Setup

Prerequisites

Visual Studio Code or compatible editors
Language Support for Java
Node.js 14+
JDK 17+

Setup

Step 1. Fork and clone this repository

Step 2. Fork and clone the jbangdev/jbang-eclipse repository, which contains the JBang/Eclipse core plugin and its jdt.ls extension

Note: Ensure that the cloned repositories are under the same parent directory:

YOUR_FOLDER/
         ├──── jbang-vscode/
         ├──── jbang-eclipse/

Step 3. Navigate into jbang-vscode/

$ cd jbang-vscode/

Step 4. Install npm dependencies

$ npm ci

Step 5. Build the JBang/Eclipse integration plugin and its jdt.ls extension

$ npm run build-ext

This script places the built jars in jbang-vscode/jars/.

Step 6. Build the VS Code extension

$ npx vsce package

This will generate a jbang-vscode-<version>.vsix file in the jbang-vscode/ directory.
