Getting the compilation status from a vscode extension

[germainaubert]

Hello !

I'm working on a vscode extension in which I have to get the compilation status of some java code written in vscode.

I have been looking over the vscode-java extension interface but couldn't find any function that might help me.

Is there a way to get such an information from the vscode-java extension?

Thank you in advance!

Update: I found the solution.

All I had to do is add the vscode-java extension in the extension dependencies (package.json).
Then I was able to call the compile command using vscode.commands.executeCommand.

In case anyone needs this in the future, the compile command is "java.workspace.compile" passed as the command argument to vscode.commands.executeCommand. It should return a CompileWorkspaceStatus
