Description

Today when updating the project, the UI only provide option for java projects. To update a project hierarchy the user needs to update each individual java project. Adding the support in UI to trigger this update from the parent pom project will be really nice feature to have in vscode similar to Eclipse.

  • JDK version: Any
  • Visual Studio Code version: 1.7.0.insider
  • Java extension version: 1.10
Steps To Reproduce
  1. Open a maven project which contain a parent pom
  2. Right click on the parent pom project in the Java Projects view.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the missing update option from the parent pom project in the Java Projects view and trace the existing project update action for individual Java projects. Add a parent-project menu action that updates the full project hierarchy, then verify the expected menu and update behavior with a Maven project containing a parent pom.
