Description

Hello,

Thank you for developing the VisualVM extension; it's been very useful! I noticed that the extension is available on the Microsoft Marketplace but not on open-vsx.org, which is an open-source alternative that serves the broader community, including VSCodium users.

Would you consider publishing your extension on open-vsx.org as well? It would benefit users who prefer or are required to use open-source software. The process is outlined here: Publishing Extensions.

Thank you for considering this request. I'm looking forward to continuing to use VisualVM in my development environment.

Best regards,
Raji
