A **development container** is a running [Docker](https://www.docker.com) container with a well-defined tool/runtime stack and its prerequisites. You can try out development containers with **[GitHub Codespaces](https://github.com/features/codespaces)** or **[Visual Studio Code Dev Containers](https://aka.ms/vscode-remote/containers)**.

Once you have this sample opened, you'll be able to work with it like you would locally.
> **Note:** This container runs as a non-root user with sudo access by default. Comment out `"remoteUser": "vscode"` in `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` if you'd prefer to run as root.
Some things to try:
1. **Edit:**
- Open `src/main/java/com/mycompany/app/App.java`.
- Try adding some code and check out the language features.
- Notice that the Java extension pack is already installed in the container since the `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` lists `"vscjava.vscode-java-pack"` as an extension to install automatically when the container is created.
- Make a spelling mistake and notice it is detected. The [Code Spell Checker](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=streetsidesoftware.code-spell-checker) extension was automatically installed because it is referenced in `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json`.
- Also notice that the [Extension Pack for Java](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vscjava.vscode-java-pack) is installed. The JDK is in the `mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/java` image and Dev Container settings and metadata are automatically picked up from [image labels](https://containers.dev/implementors/reference/#labels).
2. **Terminal:** Press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>\`</kbd> and type `uname` and other Linux commands from the terminal window.
3. **Build, Run, and Debug:**
- Open `src/main/java/com/mycompany/app/App.java`.
- Add a breakpoint.
- Press <kbd>F5</kbd> to launch the app in the container.
- Once the breakpoint is hit, try hovering over variables, examining locals, and more.
4. **Run a Test:**
- Open `src/test/java/com/mycompany/app/AppTest.java`.
- Put a breakpoint in a test.
- Click the `Debug Test` in the Code Lens above the function and watch it hit the breakpoint.
5. **Install Node.js using a Dev Container Feature:**
- Press <kbd>F1</kbd> and select the **Dev Containers: Configure Container Features...** or **Codespaces: Configure Container Features...** command.
- Type "node" in the text box at the top.
- Check the check box next to "Node.js (via nvm) and yarn" (published by devcontainers)
- Click OK
- Press <kbd>F1</kbd> and select the **Dev Containers: Rebuild Container** or **Codespaces: Rebuild Container** command so the modifications are picked up.
