This guide shows you how to set up an example Java project in GitHub Codespaces using the Visual Studio Code web client. It will step you through the process of opening the project in a codespace, and adding and modifying a predefined dev container configuration.
When you create a codespace, your project is created on a remote virtual machine that is dedicated to you. By default, the container for your codespace has many languages and runtimes, including Java. It also includes a set of commonly used tools such as Gradle, Maven, git, wget, rsync, openssh, and nano.
You can customize your codespace by adjusting the amount of vCPUs and RAM, adding dotfiles to personalize your environment, or by modifying the tools and scripts installed. For more information, see "Customizing your codespace."
GitHub Codespaces uses a file called devcontainer.json to configure the development container that you use when you work in a codespace. Each repository can contain one or more devcontainer.json files, to give you exactly the development environment you need to work on your code in a codespace.
On launch, GitHub Codespaces uses a devcontainer.json file, and any dependent files that make up the dev container configuration, to install tools and runtimes, and perform other setup tasks that the project requires. For more information, see "Introduction to dev containers."
The default development container, or "dev container," for GitHub Codespaces will allow you to work successfully on a Java project like vscode-remote-try-java. However, we recommend that you configure your own dev container to include all of the tools and scripts your project needs. This will ensure a fully reproducible environment for all GitHub Codespaces users in your repository.
To set up your repository to use a custom dev container, you will need to create one or more devcontainer.json files. You can either add these from a predefined configuration template, in Visual Studio Code, or you can write your own. For more information on dev container configurations, see "Introduction to dev containers."
In this example, the template repository from which you created the codespace already contains a dev container configuration, so a message is displayed telling you that the configuration file already exists. We're going to overwrite the existing configuration file, so click Continue.
A list of additional features you can install is displayed. We'll install Ant, the Java library and command-line tool for building applications. To install this feature, type ant, select Ant (via SDKMAN), then click OK.
If you look in the Visual Studio Code Explorer you'll see that a .devcontainer directory has been added to the root of your project's repository containing the devcontainer.json file. This is the main configuration file for codespaces created from this repository.
The devcontainer.json file that you have added will contain values for the name, image, and features properties. Some additional properties that you may find useful are included but are commented out.
If you are familiar with Docker, you may want to use a Dockerfile, or Docker Compose, to configure your codespace environment, in addition to the devcontainer.json file. You can do this by adding your Dockerfile or docker-compose.yml files alongside the devcontainer.json file. For more information, see "Using Images, Dockerfiles, and Docker Compose" on the Development Containers website.
With your dev container configuration added and a basic understanding of what everything does, you can now make changes to customize your environment further. In this example, you'll add properties that will:
Tip: You may occasionally want to perform a full rebuild to clear your cache and rebuild your container with fresh images. For more information, see "Rebuilding the container in a codespace."
When you've made changes to your codespace, either new code or configuration changes, you'll want to commit your changes. Committing configuration changes to your repository ensures that anyone else who creates a codespace from this repository has the same configuration. Any customization you do, such as adding VS Code extensions, will be available to all users.
For this tutorial, you created a codespace from a template repository, so the code in your codespace is not yet stored in a repository. You can create a repository by publishing the current branch to GitHub.com.
The JavaMail API provides a platform-independent andprotocol-independent framework to build mail and messagingapplications.The JavaMail API is available as an optional package for use with theJava SE platformand is also included in theJava EE platform.
Note that the JavaMail project will be moving to the Eclipse Foundationas part of theEclipse Enterprise for Javaproject over the next several weeks.Future releases will be done as part of the Eclipse project for JavaMail.
Welcome to the new home of the JavaMail API project on GitHub!This project hosts the downloads and source code for the JavaMail APIreference implementation. The JavaMail reference implementation islicensed under theCommon Development and Distribution License (CDDL) v1.1 and GNU General PublicLicense (GPL) v2 with Classpath Exception.
From time to time snapshot releases of the next version of JavaMailunder development are published to thejava.net Maven repository.These snapshot releases have received only minimal testing, but mayprovide previews of bug fixes or new features under development.
See Build Instructions for instructions on how todownload and build the most recent JavaMail source code. You can alsofind a bundle of the source code for the most recent JavaMail releasein the Releases area ofthis project.
