Visual Studio Code – how to use processing as a library?

I’m trying to use processing as a normal java library.

The application is working fine, but I can’t debug the code because the Visual Studio Code IDE is complaining about missing source files.

visual studio core missing source file error

How can I solve this error?
I would like to debug the processing code properly.

I followed this tutorial in order to import core.jar on my project.

    I solved the issue in the following way, please let me know if you have a better solution.

    1. Import the core.jar inside your project

    2. Processing is compiled with Apache Ant, in order to debug properly you first have to build the core-sources.jar, then navigate to the processing4-processing-1286-4.0.1core folder and launch the command ant source-jar

    3. Copy the core-sources.jar inside the project folder

    4. Attach the source code from the IDE

    5. Now you should be able to see the source code and place breakpoints

    I committed the code under the following repo
