The Language Server Protocol currently defined by the VSCode team at [1] is an effort to unify communication between editors (tools) and advanced language tooling.
[1] - https://github.com/Microsoft/language-server-protocol
This project aims at providing a reusable Java implementation of VSCode's language server protocol. It implements the types as well as the communication, including serialization to and deserialization from JSON.
LSP4J is a Java implementation of VSCode's language server protocol intended to be consumed by tools and language servers implemented in Java.
The Eclipse Foundation is a trusted open source foundation and hosts a number of potential clients of this project, such as (Eclipse Platform, JDT, Xtext, JSDT, etc.)
No legal issues.
We intend to provide a first incubation release shortly after project creation.
It is planned to keep up with the evolution of the language server protocol.

It's much more than rumors: here is some experimental and encouraging progress: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-jnqySRA50 . However, as it's not Java, I don't think Orion is directly interested in the LSP4J project. That said, I guess they'd be glad to share ideas/plans/work if you ask on their mailing-list.
Pleease add Red Hat to interested parties

Red Hat is definitely interested in this project and would like to be listed as interested parties.
