Description

In Eclipse, project dependencies can be referenced by "${project_classpath}" and we can set up jshell as an external tool.
jshell is a very useful tool, and it should be configurable from visual studio code as well.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the extension's project-dependency handling and its external-tool integration for the jshell and Visual Studio Code use cases described here. Determine where project dependencies could be exposed as an environment variable and how jshell configuration should be represented. Done means the requested dependency reference and jshell workflow are configurable in Visual Studio Code.
