+## Getting Started
+
+Welcome to the VS Code Java world. Here is a guideline to help you get started to write Java code in Visual Studio Code.
+
+## Folder Structure
+
+The workspace contains two folders by default, where:
+
+- `src`: the folder to maintain sources
+- `lib`: the folder to maintain dependencies
+
+## Dependency Management
+
+The `JAVA DEPENDENCIES` view allows you to manage your dependencies. More details can be found [here](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-java-pack/blob/master/release-notes/v0.9.0.md#work-with-jar-files-directly).
+
+## This 2 program is to demonstrate hello world but in GUI form
