I know nothing about LSP, so its been an interesting hour reading up on it…
I did find this though: https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2016/06/27/common-language-protocol <https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2016/06/27/common-language-protocol> “as well as by Red Hat, who are working to publish a standalone language server for Java which can be consumed by any tool that utilizes the protocol.” I assume this is this one: https://github.com/eclipse/eclipse.jdt.ls <https://github.com/eclipse/eclipse.jdt.ls> Which is used in atom: https://github.com/atom/ide-java <https://github.com/atom/ide-java> So could we use the eclipse.jdt.ls as a starting point?
