Any reason why you're using VS Code and not IntelliJ?

Just playing around, I don't know much about java at this point. I know intellij community is out there and I've played a little with it (love rider :D) but I wasn't really clear on the restrictions intellij community has.

The differences are outlined here.

If you you're just starting out with Java then the community version will serve you well for now.

It's an amazing IDE which offers so much for developing Java. Plus the paid version is only £12 a month for individual users, and that's money well spent in my opinion!
