Description

Environment
  • Operating System: Linux x64 5.4.28-1-MANJARO
  • JDK version: OpenJDK 11.0.6
  • Visual Studio Code version: 1.43.2
  • Java extension version: 0.59.0
Feature request

When typing some code the extension will automatically lint the code when I stop typing, but before I save the file. This causes some distraction because I get some warning even tho I didn't finish writing my code. Would be possible to add an option to lint the code on save in order to reduce linting distractions?

Current Result

Lint errors/warning while typing code, before any save is done.

Expected Result

Lint when saving the file.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the extension's linting or diagnostic update path and its handling of file-save events; done means an option lets users defer lint warnings until saving, while preserving the existing behavior when the option is not enabled.
