[jbosstools-dev] FreeMarker plugin deprecation

[Nick Boldt]

Daniel,

Any news from the Apache Foundation about their willingness to take the
Eclipse Freemaker codebase from org.jboss and port it to org.apache?

If not, here's another option you might like to explore. Angero Zerr (added
to cc:) has started a prototype Freemaker Language Server:

https://github.com/angelozerr/freemarker-languageserver

He also has a feature/plugin for Eclipse which uses the language server to
provide Freemaker support in Eclipse:

https://github.com/angelozerr/lsp4e-freemarker

As the future of Eclipse tooling seems to be around language servers,
rather than language-specific plugins, this might be a better, more
supported approach to consider. Maybe he'd want to contribute this work to
the ASF?
