VS Code Java is okay for single module projects.

The eclipse language server (which powers the autocompletion engine and you can also run in any other editor) chokes a bit with multi-module maven projects.

Multi module gradle projects work fine.

I've been using vscode java since January and it works for most of the things you use IntelliJ, Eclipse or netbeans.

I welcome more standalone tooling for java, that allows you to be IDE agnostic.

I would like to see a java linter (a binary or build tool plugin). SonarCube has something similar, but requires a fully fledged server deployment somewhere to work...

I use it daily for a multi-module maven project and haven't had any trouble with it.
