[@TheAnffer]

1:09 "none of us remember how to compile java code using the command line" heheheh you made my day!

[@svevo]

of course I do: "mvn clean compile" ^_^

[@sridharshyam]

Having worked in visual studio for so long, this makes my life easy to transfer seamlessly into Java programming with a similar setup.

[@igormakarenko3170]

Terrific! I follow your creative works for 8 years already. Every course or tutorial are so great explained! Your are the brilliant influencer! Thank you for your inestimable job!

[@klasp100]

Finally a video that is not trash. No, seriously, all the other videos sound like an NPC is reading from a text file. Your video is very good and has helped me very much, thanks

[@olaitanadesoji3719]

THIS WAS A BEAUTIFUL VIDEO FOR ME. As a salesforce developer , VSCode has been y GOTO place for all forms of development and i was hoping i wouldnt have to pay for intelliJ ultimate to learn Spring. Thank you so much for this.

[@mdk1983]

Sir awesome. Really appreciate that you even thought of trying this out. It does make a ton of sense for full stack developers and for financially tight freelancers. Your thought process is younger and fresher than ever. Love you sir ❤️🙏

[@Java.Brains]

Thank you! Yes, it’s handy when working on web apps for sure!

[@parthapal333]

being a javascript developer I often have to switch to eclipse for java during development. This tutorial is going to be very helpful for me. Thank you

[@parthsalat]

Thanks a lot - from people who use vs code for springboot

[@parthsalat]

Right now, I'm revising this to get a Job at *Thinkify Labs*

[@JannisAdmek]

I'll say it here, I love switching between two editors. If you work on say Java and Typescript, you need to switch syntax and for me switching editor helps me with that somehow, I am so used to seeing Java in IntelliJ and Typescript in VSCode.

This is just what I wanted. VS Code is quite flexible and powerful and I just love it. How to make the VS Code a go-to for a back-end developer. Thanks Koushik for making this great walkthrough from ground-up.

[@TheSparfa300]

yeah my favorite thing about vs code is how modular it is

[@Skullgnammer]

First comment at one of your videos (I wonder why because your tutorials saved me so many times I can't count them anymore). I'm a full stack dev and I use VScode for both frontend and backend. You just scratched the surface, there are so many more extensions you can use. Other AI autocomplete, autoformat on save, support for other platforms (quarkus and native builds anyone?) you name it. Regarding this one, there's a tab at the bottom left I didn't see you touching (or maybe you did and I missed it) "Spring boot Dashboard", it allows you to run and debug, usefoul also when you have a bunch of spring projects and you want to run them all at once. I use it when I want to debug a bundle of microservices related to each other. Thank you again for your awesome videos!

[@Keralite29]

Great video. You are one of my favorite coding channels, because you explain things in a way that is both easy-to-follow and also informative. I think that using a split-screen layout, with your screen recording taking up most of the space and your live tutorial taking up the rest, is more effective at holding people's attention compared to just using a screen recording itself - it gives people a sense of face-to-face interaction which then helps them to remain focused on what is being instructed. So I think it's a very practical layout to continue using. Just my observation.

[@ori_geva]

22:22 pretty sure it removed String because you auto completed without spacing out the words, I think it's more of a preference thing because I can see myself using that

[@MirekKrenc]

Yes, I also think so. The same behavior I faced sometimes in Idea Intellij.

[@IvanRandomDude]

True, Idea does the same thing if you don't have space.

[@saamtech]

True and not true, you have 2 behaviors in Intellij, you can hit "tab" or "enter". "tab" will replace the word that is attached to the word you're trying and "enter" puts the new suggested word and retains the existing word after auto complete. I bet VS code has the same (maybe opposite key mapping tho)!

[@deekshithanand3094]

For working on large projects, you gotta increase xmx and xms in jdt vmargs. Current configs are tuned for container environment. And regarding that auto complete replacing is a feature. You can turn it off in setting

[@awadijohan]

I want to tank you really about the excellent content about how to code for Spring Boot using VS Code and also you helped me to remember what I saw and learnt about Spring Boot so thanks again to save my time from wasting :)

[@ankit_khachane]

it's really good I have been using vs code for java for the last 3 months its really a good "Free Tool" 😎😁😉

[@sumondutta1101]

I have a feeling that you would do the best System Design videos.

[@rebeckavogel]

Thank you for this Step-By_Step Video. Really saved me a lot of time figuring stuff out basically on my own.

[@guidoglielmi7992]

At 22:55 "String" is removed because it was concatenated with the Annotation. Just adding a whitespace in between should do fine. And in 33:20 the way to add something to the same package is doing the same procedure but right-clicking on the io.javabrains.isthesiteup folder, not on src/main/java

[@OguzSarigul]

You should have tested debugging feature as well...

[@pranilkharche320]

Netbeans Extension does it for ya

[@albirtarsha5370]

I don't understand how this line worked for you: if (responseCodeCategory != 2 || responseCodeCategory != 3) Shouldn't that be AND instead of OR? Isn't this condition always TRUE, because being 2 and 3 is mutually exclusive?

[@Sonyemman97]

this error had be debugging for so long.. lol

[@rimantasrozga577]

Excellent! It wasn't working for me, but I just wasn't in the mood to think and just != reversed to == and subsequently reversed output :D

I think he did that on purpose... or just didn't want to fix during video haha...this bug took 10 minutes of my life.. still great tutorial anyway

Excuse me men! You drop something. your cr0wn bcz you are a man of god for me. I was looking for this. and could not find any related videos. thankyou so much.

[@MadhuSudhanpro]

Microsoft has been kicking it out of the park with softwares from last few years revamping their legacy softwares like VS CODE Visual studio use to be that huge ide which single handedly hogged all the cpu resources but now it's light and everything is an add on plug in.. Kudos to team microsoft on this!! But my ♥️ will always be intellij with thier amazing IDE.. Ps there is even a intellij keybind plug in for vs code if you don't want to learn vs code shortcuts 😅

[@Java.Brains]

Good call on the key binding! Yes, VS Code is a completely different app from Visual Studio, and is both light and capable at the same time. They’ve really nailed the experience overall

[@ikazuchi-san5772]

there is the extension name is IntelliJ IDEA Keybindings by Keisuke Kato

[@Abhikalsi]

I was a bit skeptical to use VS Code for Spring Boot App development. But after watching your video I can at least give it a try with all these extensions/plugins. Thank you and Merry Christmas!!

[@rubbish9231]

How was your experience

[@nayansetty2926]

i suppose it shdve been this one if (responseCodeCategory ==2 && responseCodeCategory == 3) anywayz thanks man was searching the shit about this found ur vid reallly useful

[@yurireis3875]

Thanks for your video! I was looking for this for a long long time, I'm coming from C# using VS and now I'll need to work with Java, so in my point of view and with your video overview I think it's possible to stay using C# for all my stack.

[@zo2600]

VS code has been pretty awesome for me. I only started learning java this year and it's the one IDE I found both easy to use and download. Still getting a hang of the extensions though

[@vernon_4411]

Thanks for the video. I am also surprised by how well VS code works for Java/Spring development. I do have a critical issue with VS Code though. It demands a lot of resources, both CPU and memory. It locks up my PC a few times due to a lack of hardware resources on my Linux PC. Based on my experience, it requires at least 16 GB RAM to run smoothly.

[@tashidhundup8440]

Wonder how to set various JVM options. like spring profile etc

[@gvatimyboy]

Great video! Thank you. Looking forward to code Java in VSCode :)

[@OmkarShetkar]

Thanks for nice tutorial Koushik... Recently I spent some time exploring VSCode for Spring project development. In most cases, it seems to meet expectations except for few cases where tedious workarounds are involved. Such as finding the implemenations of an interface, integration with Sonar server, formatting the code etc. Seems these will get improved eventually. From Intellij CE side, I noticed a plugin "Spring Assistant" to generate spring project from IDE itself.

[@timstatler3214]

This is such a good tutorial, thank you.

[@whatthehell3704]

Java code generators plugin will allow to generate code snippets like constructors setters getters tostring etc

[@gtrent7744]

Hi. I have a Maven Spring Boot application which takes profile parameters and spring boot arguments to run. For the life of me I cannot debug in VsCode. This is a set of topics you did not included here so I think it would be helpful to cover this more complex setup. Also, I think debugging is the most important feature of an IDE so you really should cover that. Thanks.

I got here after running into problems with Thymeleaf plugins in Spring Boot Suite 4.8 +. VS Code actually works better with Thymeleaf editing.

[@gillesashley9314]

As a Java/Spring boot developer myself, I have never bothered to ever try Intellij, VSCode has been more than sufficient for me.

[@h-rj2]

Really helpful. I was thinking to buy the Intellij. Now changed my mind ;) Thank you!

[@gokhun]

I have been developing Spring Boot and Quarkus applications in Code Server (It is basically VS Code in browser) over a year. I found myself more productive compared to Eclipse. Also I run my Code Server in a more powerful server than my laptop so no fan noise.

[@ori_geva]

What a mind reader, I've been working on getting to know and get used to vscode for spring boot, for the same reason where intellij is not free and eclipse feeling a bit dated

[@ori_geva]

@@rarecase3666 Now where did you take that fact from? Could it be as dated as Eclipse is? Lmao I'm kidding but honestly I think VSCode is a game changer

This is saaah-weet! Thanks for making me think this was possible. I'm about to try JakartaEE and I'm going to see if it works in vscode. Maybe, maybe not, but I didn't think spring boot would work this well either.

Another quick tip for opening to the command palette in VSCode using windows, is rather than ctrl+shift+p simply hit the F1 key. I'm curious if it works on Mac also?

[@kalamani9175]

Great video. At last started working on Java. I have to install javacodingpack also to make it work

Using VSCode with flutter, javascript, typescript, java, python, Platformio.... It is a great text editor ...

[@TheRocreex]

Thanks for the good comparison. Small remark: I am not sure how you got your app to work with the mistake in your if statement querying the response code, since it will always be true and should, thus, always say "Site is down" ;-)

@@Naglfar83 What you say is not quite correct. It says "if the code is not 2 or if the code is not 3". Subtle difference.

Hey Koushik, I am really confused as to how this code worked for you... (responseCodeCategory != 2 || responseCodeCategory != 3) condition shouldn't work for SITE_IS_DOWN case. It should be set for SITE_IS_UP case. I did this code myself. I am not getting how it is working correctly in your video!!!!!!

[@subhajitbarh8435]

Hi Koushik, nice video. I always found vs-code lighter than IntelliJ(including vs-code extensions). About that removing String keyword thing, I think you needed to put a space before String so that vs-code won't remove it. Otherwise, vs-code thinks you are trying to correct the String keyword instead of adding another keyword.

[@Java.Brains]

Yup, that makes sense! I guess I wouldn’t be surprised if other editors /IDEs did something similar
