Debug/run standard java in Visual Studio Code IDE and OS X?

I can tell you for Windows.

1. Install Java Extension Pack and Code Runner Extension from VS Code Extensions.

2. Edit your java home location in VS Code settings, “java.home“: "C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk-9.0.4".

3. Check if javac is recognized in VS Code internal terminal. If this check fails, try opening VS Code as administrator.

4. Create a simple Java program in Main.java file as:

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello world");     
    }
}

Note: Do not add package in your main class.

5. Right click anywhere on the java file and select run code.

6. Check the output in the console.

Done, hope this helps.
