vscode-maven-dotenv

🔌 vscode-maven-dotenv

Minimal VSCode Extension to scan the .env file properties from the root folder of the project and create/update workspace’s settings.json on maven.terminal.customEnv configuration automatically with the expected format of environmentVariable & value, which will be prefixed with maven commands when executed from the vscode maven lifecycle.

In addition an entry to launch.json also will be made, pointing to the .env file under the specific workspace for Java projects to directly to prefix the properties on being executed with main class.

That’s it, that’s all it does. Just that I’m lazy enough to do them manually everytime, this comes in place 🤗 !!
