Description
**Problem**: AWS Glue resources (jobs, crawlers, databases) don't appear in the AWS Toolkit's Explorer tree view, unlike other services (S3, Lambda, CloudFormation).
**Use Case**: Developers working with Glue need to switch between VS Code and AWS Console to manage Glue resources.
**Proposed Solution**: Add Glue section to AWS Explorer showing:
- Glue Jobs (with run status)
- Crawlers (with last run info)
- Data Catalog databases/tables
**Business Impact**: Improves developer productivity for data engineering workflows.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the AWS Explorer tree-view implementations for S3, Lambda, and CloudFormation, then confirm the AWS Glue APIs needed for jobs, crawlers, and Data Catalog databases and tables. Done means the Explorer shows those Glue resources with job run status and crawler last-run information, without requiring users to switch to the AWS Console.
