Develop with Liberty Tools
Liberty Tools is a set of intuitive developer tools for the Eclipse IDE, Visual Studio Code, and IntelliJ IDEA development environments. These tools adopt a Maven/Gradle-centric approach and enable fast, iterative cloud-native Java application development through Liberty dev mode.
Liberty Tools also provides helpful, time-saving features such as code completion, hover descriptions, and configuration diagnostics for Jakarta EE APIs, MicroProfile APIs, and Liberty configuration. For more information, check out the Liberty Tools overview.
The classic Eclipse Developer Tools can be found in this repository, and you can find instructions on how to install the classic tools here.
