This is a sample project to go along with the "try" quick start for the **[VS Code Remote - Containers](https://aka.ms/vscode-remote/containers)** extension.
**If you aren't already following the quick start, [see here](#setting-up-the-development-container).**
## Things to try
One you have this sample opened in a container, you can use it exactly like you would if you cloned it locally. Here's some things to try:
1.**Edit:**
1. Open `src\main\java\com\mycompany\app\App.java`
2. Try adding some code and check out the language features.
2.**Terminal:** Press <kbd>ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>shift</kbd>+<kbd>\`</kbd> and type `uname` and or other Linux commands inside the container from the terminal window.
3.**Build, Run and debug:**
1. Open `src\main\java\com\mycompany\app\App.java`
2. Add a breakpoint.
3. Press <kbd>F5</kbd> to launch the app in the container.
4. Once the breakpoint is hit, over variables, step, and try things out.
4.**Run a Test:**
1. Open `src\main\java\com\mycompany\app\AppTest.java`
2. Put a breakpoint in a test
3. Click the Debug Test in the Code Lens above the function and watch it hit the breakpoint.
5.**Explore:** Check out the Java Dependencies and Maven Projects explorers or other VS Code features to see more!
## Setting up the development container
Follow these steps to open this sample in a container:
1. If this is your first time using a development container, please follow the [getting started steps](https://aka.ms/vscode-remote/containers/getting-started) to set everything up correctly.
2. If you're not yet in a development container, use **Remote - Container: Reopen Folder in Container** from the Command Palette. You activate the command palette with <kbd>F1</kbd>.
3. Selected cloned copy of this folder, wait for the container to start, and try things out!
