+# Use Visual Studio Code as IDE
+
+First, install [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com).
+
+Then, install the required extensions to develop Java:
+
+- Install [Javan Extension Pack](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vscjava.vscode-java-pack)
+- Install [Spring Boot support](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Pivotal.vscode-spring-boot)
+
+Install required extensions to edit XML files:
+
+- Install [XML Tools](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=DotJoshJohnson.xml) to enable XPath / XQuery support.
+- Install [XML Tools](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=qub.qub-xml-vscode) to enable tag auto-closing.
+
+Finally, Install [XML Language Support](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=IBM.XMLLanguageSupport) to enable XSD auto-complete / validation.
+
+This last extension needs a bit of setup to work. Namely, the `JAVA_HOME` environment variable needs to be set properly.
+
+On MacOS this environment variable is not set. You will need to print the Java Home of your current Java installation with:
+
+```
+$ /usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8
+/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_172.jdk/Contents/Home
+```
+
+Open $HOME/.vscode/settings.json and add the path to you Java Home in front of the key `xmlLang.javaHome`:
+````js
+{
+  "xmlLang.javaHome": "/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_172.jdk/Contents/Home"
+}
+```
+
+Restart Visual Studio Code.
