Allow custom compiler path

[iacore]

This extension doesn't support custom compiler path yet. I hope it does, because I put flix.jar in some other place.

I'm not sure how should I add this feature. I tried, but failed. See #209

Also, I hope this extension looks for flix on PATH.

Do you think we should add an option the plugin where you can specify the path?

[iacore]

Yes. Also add bundling and don't include every file in this repo.

What do you mean by bundling?

[iacore]

With rollup or esbuild and .vscodeignore. Currently running vsce package includes every file in this repo.

Right. That is tracked in #70.

Maybe I can help with this issue. We can add a box in the extension settings where the users can provide the custom path for Flix compiler. (if they want to put flix.jar in some other places).

Users can provide the custom path as follows:

At the moment, we do not plan to support this feature.
