Gradle support

Should detect build.gradle in addition to pom.xml

+1. Maven has been all but replaced by Gradle on any new projects that I know of. Without Gradle support, the plugin is not really usable :-/

In case it helps someone out there (note that I am new to Java) - I was able to workaround the lack of direct Gradle support by using the 'eclipse' gradle plugin to generate an Eclipse project:

1. Add apply plugin: 'eclipse' to your gradle file
2. Generate the classpath/project files on the console/terminal via gradlew eclipse

Intellisense works after that.

I've also tried to use the maven plugin, but the vscode-java plugin bombs out when loading the pom-default.xml (assuming it's even trying to load it)

My guess is pom-default.xml fails because we look for pom.xml files only. @fbricon can you confirm?

[fbricon]

yes, we only look at pom.xmls

This is a fairly important feature which is missing from this project - has any work been done twoards completing this?

Just a note: latest Gradle is focusing on Kotlin support, so it would be good if that was supported

@tills13 I believe @fbricon did have a look at using buildship last week.

+1 i also need gradle support for learning libGDX in vscode. i love VSCode because lightweight but powerfull and crossplatform. the bad thing is it is still new.
