Improving Java support in Cursor
We’re making a major investment to improve Java support in Cursor.
This includes building a dedicated team to speed up the Java Language Server Protocol (LSP) and contributing open-source improvements back to the VS Code ecosystem.
We’re partnering with LSP authors and contributors from Red Hat, Microsoft, IBM, and more. Early improvements have shown 10% faster project imports, and reducing debugger scans from 5+ seconds to <200 ms in large codebases.
Cursor’s focus on LSP performance bottlenecks and project initialization directly addresses the scaling challenges that enterprise Java developers face daily. These improvements will benefit the entire VS Code Java ecosystem.
We’re trying to build an excellent Java experience inside of VS Code through the VS Code Java ecosystem. We’ve been happy to see some initial contributions from Cursor and are looking forward to deepening the partnership together with our existing partners at Microsoft and IBM.
