Background

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

 

Scope

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.

Description

LSP4J is a Java implementation of VSCode's language server protocol intended to be consumed by tools and language servers implemented in Java.

Why Here?

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.)

Future Work

It is planned to keep up with the evolution of the language server protocol.

Project Scheduling

We intend to provide a first incubation release shortly after project creation.
