| = Eclipse Language Services = |
| |
| Start point for documentation related to https://github.com/eclipselabs/eclipse-language-service[eclipse language services] |
| |
| The idea is to have a proof of concept of Language Services on Eclipse by: |
| |
| * implementing a subclass of SSE Structured Editor that sends data to a language service |
| |
| As protocol we refer to the https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-languageserver-protocol[vscode languageserver protocol], implemented under MIT license by the team of https://github.com/egamma[E.Gamma, (MicroSoft)] . |
| |
| |
| == Server Side == |
| |
| Protocol: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-languageserver-protocol |
| |
| The easiest way to have a language server running is to install VSCode: http://code.visualstudio.com/ |
| |
| . How to run the JavaScript language server |
| . Start VSCode |
| . Clone a git repo with JS code: https://github.com/josdejong/mathjs |
| . Open the cloned folder in VSCode |
| |
| == Eclipse IDE Side == |
| |
| We choose to start implementing a JavaScript Editor as VSCode already provides a Language Server Service for a JavaScript editor. |
| You can extend this by adding any other editor, as example XML, Java, Xtext, PHP, HTML, XSLT, SASS, etc. |
| |
| * We created a plugin `org.eclipse.lsp4e`, which implements an extension to `org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.ui.javaCompletionProposalComputer`. |
| * The LanguageCompletionProposalComputer#computeCompletionProposals(..) is the method that actually provides content assist. |
| * To run, you need to setup for JSDT, explained here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOz1hk-ohMA |

| == Important Notes and References == |

| * Sven put an interesting comment to ensime-server |
