Why is VS Code showing this these labels or parameter names for System.out.println() in java files? [duplicate]

Question

I have the java extension pack installed. This just started happening today. Not sure if this is due to some json settings or something else.

Answer 1

See Random things such as "s:", "x:", and name of parameters are showing up inside of my print statements: java extension issues.

It's a new feature introduced in 1.5.0, called inlay hint. We use that to display the parameter names of those arguments.

If you do not want to have them in your editor, you can set the setting java.inlayHints.parameterNames.enabled to none

Answer 2

To disable this setting Open 'setting.json' file

(CTRL + SHIFT + P and type "Open Settings (JSON)" to open setting.json)

Add this code in this file

  "editor.inlayHints.enabled": "off"
