<p>When you are familiar with building and testing the JDK, you may want to configure an IDE to work with the source code. The instructions differ a bit depending on whether you are interested in working with the native (C/C++) or the Java code.</p>

<p>The make system can generate a <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com">Visual Studio Code</a> workspace that has C/C++ source indexing configured correctly, as well as launcher targets for tests and the Java launcher. After configuring, a workspace for the configuration can be generated using:</p>

<p>This creates a file called <code>jdk.code-workspace</code> in the build output folder. The full location will be printed after the workspace has been generated. To use it, choose <code>File -&gt; Open Workspace...</code> in Visual Studio Code.</p>

<p>The main <code>vscode-project</code> target configures the default C++ support in Visual Studio Code. There are also other source indexers that can be installed, that may provide additional features. It's currently possible to generate configuration for two such indexers, <a href="https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clangd/">clangd</a> and <a href="https://github.com/Andersbakken/rtags">rtags</a>. These can be configured by appending the name of the indexer to the make target, such as:</p>
