Passing arguments to the Java compiler. #2269
Description
Is it not possible to pass arguments to the Java compiler on a project with no build tools? I just want to pass -release 9 to java compiler to support older JVMs. I can't find anything in settings.
- Platform: Debian 10 Linux
- VScode: version 1.63.2

For the
-releaseoption, you should be able to useorg.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.compliance=9in a settings file. See https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-java/wiki/Settings-Global-Preferences for more details. I'm not sure if there's a setting that allows one to pass arbitrary compiler options. CC'ing @snjeza in case there is a way.rgrunber commentedon Feb 8, 2022
See #2304 (comment) for the more general way to do this. You'd need to install vscode-java-debug
