Resolution: Partially Completed
I'm closing it as partially complete. The possibility was evaluated, some new
questions and proposals emerged.
Evaluate providing Java EE support as jdt.ls extensions
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: JBIDE-25894
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-25894
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Enhancement
Components: jsp/jsf/xml/html-source-editing
Reporter: Mickael Istria
Assignee: Mickael Istria
Fix For: 4.6.x
Jdt-LS relies on JDT for most features.
WTP and JBoss Tools do extend JDT to provide additional features, such as Jax-RS
completion.
It would be worth investigating whether just adding a few bundles from wtp and JBoss
Tools into JDT-LS can turn JDT-LS into a powerful tool for Java EE as well, and to
evaluate what must and can be improved to enable it.
As a good Java EE support requires a good Java support first, it's very likely that
extending JDT-LS (on demand) for Java EE is the most productive and efficient way to have
a Java EE language-server.
As Jakarta EE moves to
Eclipse.org, there are some discussions to improve JEE tools in
Eclipse IDE and in general. So building on top of WebTools/JBoss Tools and allowing
webtools/jbosstools to run in JDT-LS wo uld fit in the community mindset and may attract
3rd-party contributors to Eclipse Webtools.
