Eclipse LSP4E makes Eclipse IDE able to consume the Language Server protocol.
Target audience are Eclipse plugin developers or Language developers willing to integrate a language which ships a Language Server ino Eclipse IDE. End-users can also take advantage of this as LSP4E also define a way to bind Eclipse IDE to existing language servers from UI.

Contributions are highly welcome. [See how](https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.lsp4e/developer}

This has been initiated during the EclipseCon France 2016 Unconference. Some initial documentation is still available (although it may not be up to date).
