Chapter 6. Quarkus tools basics in CodeReady Studio

Quarkus is a Kubernetes-Native full-stack Java framework aimed to optimize work with Java virtual machines. Quarkus provides tools for Quarkus application developers, helping to reduce the size of Java applications and container image footprints, as well as the amount of memory required.

6.4. Using language support in CodeReady Studio

Every Quarkus application is configured through an application.properties configuration file. The content of this configuration file is dependent on the set of Quarkus extensions that your application is using.

Quarkus Tools includes content assist, which provides code completion, validation, and documentation. Code completion allows you to quickly complete statements in your code. Multiple choices are available to you via popups. This language support is now available for Kubernetes, OpenShift, S2i, Docker properties, MicroProfile REST Client properties, and MicroProfile Health artifacts.
Note that language support for MicroProfile REST Client properties needs to be enabled separately. For more information, see Section 6.4.2, “Enabling language support for MicroProfile REST Client properties”.
