![A slide titled “Visual Studio Code – October Update [1.106]” with three columns of feature highlights.
Agent HQ: Agent Sessions view as mission control for agent tasks, OpenAI Codex integration, built-in planning agent, custom agents and handoffs, inlined terminal panels in chat.
Security & Trust: Open sourcing inline suggestions, tool pre- and post-approval, expanded MCP auth support, control MCP server access with custom MCP registries, Linux device policy support.
Great coding experience: Copy text from deleted lines in diff editor, VS Code product icon refresh, Terminal IntelliSense GA, compare source control branches and tags.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2xibtqlq4oplg5hkbqw56xgu/bafkreib7slhraybz7lreeigtqk67okxrdiaf55yycbmpzcqkyiixbgaqle@jpeg)

So, of course we talked GitHub Copilot. Also, a Commodore! Reminded me of @scott.hanselman.com's TED Talk.

I started a thing (with Copilot).
It is called jdx, a command-line tool that helps you manage your JDKs. No, it won't install/remove/etc, that's up to you however you want.
But it will help you activate a JDK globally and locally, by using Maven/Gradle features. github.com/brunoborges/...
