Notes
- This extension was tested with the JDK 14 version of
javap
. - The verbose output of
javap
is significantly more complicated than the normal output so there may be some inconsistencies with its highlighting. - If you see highlighting that you think is incorrect, please submit an issue with a screenshot.
- The Jar exploration code was adapted from https://github.com/stef-levesque/vscode-zipexplorer
