VS Code Extension: Jabba Manager (Unofficial) #869

Hi @shyiko and the Jabba community

First of all, thank you for building and maintaining Jabba — it's an incredible tool for managing Java versions, and it’s helped me (and many others) tremendously in development workflows!

I’ve created an unofficial VS Code extension called Jabba Manager to bring Jabba’s features directly into the VS Code interface.

🔧 What it does
This extension integrates Jabba into VS Code, allowing users to:

🔍 View installed Java versions
⚡ Quickly switch between versions
📦 Install new versions
🌍 Set global defaults
📁 Set per-workspace Java versions

It also includes convenient commands like:

Add Java Version
Switch Java Version
Set Global Default
Remove Java Version
Refresh Versions

🛠 Requirements
Jabba must be installed on the system

VS Code 1.60.0 or higher

💡 Why I made it
I wanted a simple way to manage Java versions while staying inside VS Code. Many developers using Jabba also use VS Code, so this felt like a natural fit to improve the developer experience.

🌟 I'd love your thoughts
This is an unofficial project and not affiliated with Jabba, but I would love your feedback or suggestions. If you think it's useful, I'd be honored if it could be mentioned in the Jabba README or shared with the community in any way you find appropriate.

Thanks again for your awesome work!

Cheers,
