Description

Suggestion

VS Code may be able to provide a function that let user customize templates

Use Cases

Here is a case in stackoverflow: how to change template
when people need to develop heavy projects repeatly, it's necessary to customize their own template projects for convenient development. I know there's a way to customize templates, like locating the directory of the extension which support creating the template projects, then add or change files. But if there's any upgrade about java extension pack. the templates developers changed may be covered.

Examples

So is it possible that with next upgrade, vscode-java will provide a button on the menu bar that developer can click it to customize their own templates?

Research direction

Start by reviewing how the vscode-java-dependency extension currently creates Java project templates and compare the requested workflow with the linked Stack Overflow example. The issue does not identify files, entry points, or tests; done would require a defined way for users to customize templates while preserving those changes across extension upgrades.
