It's nowadays the solution with the better short term ROI. There are
big chances that with the same amount of effort on FreeMarker LS and
Eclipse IDE integration of the LS, you get better results faster
than with trying to migrate code from JBoss Tools to Apache, from
legal, releng and technical POV.

LSP4E is already used in production-grade Eclipse based tools, such
as Red Hat Developers Studio or Spring Tools Suite and is the root
for Eclipse aCute (C#) and Eclipse Corrosion (Rust). If you have any
bug with it, feel free to report them to
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=lsp4e so they
can be considered and hopefully fixed.
If you used BlueSky, you probably got the 0.2.0 release of LSP4E
installed. LSP4E is about to ship 0.6.0 so that can explain why you
found issues.

The FreeMarker plugin uses 0.6.0.201803121253. Otherwise, as far as
maturity goes, I was just naively assuming that it's immature
officially as well, but didn't meant to interfere with anyone. We will
see how the new FreeMarker plugin does anyway. Also, I plan to debug
into why is it behaving as it does, then I will know more.
As far as the old plugin is concerned, for a while we can get away
with a personal Github fork and a repo on Bintray. So maybe we will
give the new plugin a few months before deciding.
