title: Integrating Java Language into Visual Studio 2017
body: <p>I'm familiar with the C set of languages such as C/C++, C# and I've learned a little bit of Python. I'd now like to try my hand at Java. </p>
  
  <p>I currently have Visual Studio 2017 CE installed with most of its packages and features. The storage capacity of my drives is mostly spent. Therefore I do not want to install another large scale IDE application such as Net Beans, IntelliJ, or Eclipse consuming more disk space and ram. </p>
  
  <p>I'd want to be able to use Visual Studio 2017. The only thing I have found so far is this Visual Studio plugin <code>Java Language Support</code> found <a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=SamHarwell.JavaLanguageSupport" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.</p>
  
  <p>It appears that this plugin is compatible with Visual Studio 2015 and earlier. I have searched google thoroughly for either other plugins or extensions, or ways to make this one work and to no avail, my search results came up effortless. I've also searched through Microsofts - Visual Studios websites and again found nothing helpful...</p>
  
  <p>Is there any workaround to getting this to integrate into Visual Studio 2017? Are there other plugins or extensions for 2017 that I wasn't able to find? What other options or alternatives do I have without having to install another IDE? I'd prefer to use the IDE I already have installed and configured to my preferences!   </p>
