Make azureFunctions.javaBuildTool optional to support JVM based languages

Hi all, I’m trying to implement tooling support for Azure functions for a JVM based language named Ballerina.

From by executing bal build I’m trying to generate .vscode folder in the project directory with necessary .jsons.

Following is my setting.json

{
  "azureFunctions.deploySubpath": "target/azure_functions",
  "azureFunctions.projectRuntime": "~3",
  "debug.internalConsoleOptions": "neverOpen",
  "azureFunctions.projectLanguage": "Java"
}

When I have this command, I’m getting an error in the local function explorer as I don’t have a pom.xml in the project directory. I only have a .jar file.

Is there a way to make the build tool optional? I notched maven is the default.

To add few more details, I compiled .jar file with graalvm and set the projectLanguage to Custom and everything worked just smoothly. Do we have a workaround for this?

@xlight05 Hi, we don’t have any slack/discord channel for the Azure Tools for VS Code extension team, but please feel free to ask any questions either in the issue or as comments in a PR if you do contribute this code 😊

@xlight05 Sorry for the late response

1. Are there any contributing guides apart from wiki and build steps in Readme?

I’m not sure whether there are any other documents for it, my team only focus on the Functions Java support, @nturinski may have more knowledge

1. Are there any samples for adding languages?

You may refer the implementation for Java, mostly including the following part

• Template Provider to get the templates to generate function with specific language
• Function Creation Step Code to generate function class based on template
• Function Project Creation Step Code to generate function project with specific language

1. Are there any slack/discord or any other IMs, where I can reach you guys to get the feedback for the implementation?

@nturinski Do we have any slack/discord or teams channel for VSCode extension?
