Oracle Java Platform Extension v26.0.0 for VS Code

Oracle's Apache-NetBeans-powered Java extension for VS Code shipped v26.0.0 on June 8 with four changes: VS Code variable substitution across 13 settings, a Run Configuration GUI panel in the Explorer sidebar, inline formatter settings via `jdk.format.options`, and a configurable Maven `settings.xml` path. At 5.86 million installs with a 4.62/5 rating (vs Red Hat's 3.32/5 at 54.9 million installs), the Oracle extension grows faster and rates higher, and adds three features Red Hat doesn't offer: interactive Java Notebook, built-in JShell REPL, and a JDK Downloader.

Helm Visualizer: browse your Kubernetes resources as a graph inside VS Code

Helm Visualizer (Beta) is a VS Code extension (v1.0.4, Apache 2.0) that renders Helm charts as interactive Kubernetes resource graphs with multi-environment diffing, a static Security Scanner across 7 vectors, and a Live Cluster Diff — all without requiring cluster access for most features. The June 6 v0.2.0 release adds the Security Scanner and Live Cluster Diff, marking the tool's expansion from a pure visualization aid into a delivery-verification tool. The main caveat: the VS Code panel currently requires a manually started `npm run dev` server, unlike typical plug-and-play extensions; the `helm viz` CLI plugin sidesteps this for terminal users.

Pipeline Visualizer: see your CI/CD job graph without leaving VS Code

Pipeline Visualizer (v1.3.2, MIT, free) is a VS Code extension that auto-detects GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Azure DevOps, AWS CodeBuild, and Bitbucket Pipelines YAML files and renders interactive Mermaid.js dependency graphs directly in the editor — with 8 color themes (including WCAG AA colorblind-safe options) and clickable job nodes that surface step details without leaving VS Code.

MVC scaffolding for VS Code, Visual Studio-style

`.NET Core MVC Scaffolding & Publishing` (`LeviBickel.net-core-mvc-scaffolding`) v0.0.19 brings Visual Studio's right-click scaffold wizard into VS Code — generating a full CRUD controller plus five Razor views from a `.cs` model file, and adding IIS Web Deploy publishing with a four-step profile wizard that stores credentials in VS Code's Secrets API. The article covers all three commands, a concrete scaffold walkthrough with file tree, the IIS publish credential-isolation model, and the security-patch-driven 19-version history (currently at zero vulnerabilities).

Angular Language Service v22: inlay hints that actually tell you what your template bindings mean

Angular Language Service (`Angular.ng-template`) v22.0.1 — the official Google/Angular Team VS Code extension — shipped June 11, 2026 with two headline features: 19 individually-configurable inlay hint settings that annotate template binding types inline, and Document Symbols support that makes `@if`/`@for` blocks and template references visible in VS Code's Outline panel. The release also bundles TypeScript 6.0 with strict mode on by default and patches a Critical-severity RCE vulnerability fixed in v21.2.4.
