This is a sample project that lets you try out the VS Code Remote - Containers extension in a few easy steps.

Note: If you're following the quick start, you can jump to the Things to try section.

Follow these steps to open this sample in a container:

1. If this is your first time using a development container, please follow the getting started steps.

2. To use this repository, you can either open a locally cloned copy of the code:

   • Clone this repository to your local filesystem.
   • Press F1 and select the Remote-Containers: Open Folder in Container... command.
   • Select the cloned copy of this folder, wait for the container to start, and try things out!

   Or open the repository in an isolated Docker volume:

   • Press F1 and select the Remote-Containers: Try a Sample... command.
   • Choose the "Java" sample, wait for the container to start and try things out!

     Note: Under the hood, this will use Remote-Containers: Open Repository in Container... command to clone the source code in a Docker volume instead of the local filesystem.

Once you have this sample opened in a container, you'll be able to work with it like you would locally.

Note: This container runs as a non-root user with sudo access by default. Comment out "remoteUser": "vscode" in .devcontainer/devcontainer.json if you'd prefer to run as root.

Some things to try:

1. Edit:
   • Open src/main/java/com/mycompany/app/App.java.
   • Try adding some code and check out the language features.
2. Terminal: Press Ctrl+Shift+` and type uname and other Linux commands from the terminal window.
3. Build, Run, and Debug:
   • Open src/main/java/com/mycompany/app/App.java.
   • Add a breakpoint.
   • Press F5 to launch the app in the container.
   • Once the breakpoint is hit, try hovering over variables, examining locals, and more.
4. Run a Test:
   • Open src/test/java/com/mycompany/app/AppTest.java.
   • Put a breakpoint in a test.
   • Click the Debug Test in the Code Lens above the function and watch it hit the breakpoint.
