The Problem
Java is notoriously verbose. When practicing data structures, algorithms, or preparing for technical interviews, typing out public static void main(String[] args), Scanner declarations, ArrayList<Integer>, and loops over and over again wastes time and breaks concentration during timed challenges.
How It Solves It

jmainexpands into a complete runnable main class.jscancreates a fast Scanner input pattern.jalsets up an ArrayList with tab stops ready for your data type.jhmsets up a HashMap.
How It's Built
- VS Code Snippet Grammar: Uses native snippet placeholders so you can tab between variable names and types smoothly.
- Java-Only Scoping: Configured to only trigger inside
.javafiles so it never gets in the way when editing other file types.
