Develop / Debug / Compile Java programs using Visual Studio 2017

Question

Is there any way to manage/debug/compile Java projects using Visual Studio 2017?

I think this is possible in the old versions of Visual Studio like Visual Studio 2010, but the version I'm currently using is 2017.

This is possible using Visual Studio Code, but that's not what I want.

I want to develop Java programs using Visual Studio 2017 if this is possible.

Any help to do that?

I am afraid Not.

Since you are using Visual Studio 2017, there is no such extension to support Visual Studio 2017 currently.

Java Language Support works with Visual Studio 2010-2015 except 2017.

Even if we can use some techniques to compile java with Visual Studio, we still could not debug it currently.

Hope this helps.
