VScode features ....

Hey, @yyoncho

A Red Hat developer @ Oracle Code ONE just presented VSCode's Java extensions that uses Eclipse server.

Some of its features, I think, are actually really interesting and should not be that hard to implement on lsp-java and related extensions.

PS: VSCode seems way better than I thought. Too bad its requires quite a lot the use of mouse!
EDITED: Its no mouse oriented at all... Loving it!

I saw it somewhere but I didn't watch it. What part did you impress you? To summarize what are the plans on lsp-java side.

1. First I want to implement support for multiple simultaneous servers in one file which will allow integration with string boot plugin - Implement spring boot support #50
2. Implement lenses Support for code lenses lsp-ui#132 - I guess this is what you have liked in vscode. This one is in the list and it will have better implementations in emacs since it will allow clicking the link with keyboard(see Enhancement: Detect links in overlays noctuid/link-hint.el#24 and Lenses support cpitclaudel/quick-peek#12 )
3. I have the error list in progress(with similar structure and it will allow fixing the issue from there). I have some performance related issues with the built-in tree-widgets library and I will be probably porting every to treemacs widget when it is ready - check [discussion] provide extension API Alexander-Miller/treemacs#263 .
4. Work on implementing support for all of the features comming from che plugin.

FYI The "fancy" find references/dependencies is already implemented in lsp-ui if you havent have a change to try it.

I just skimmed through the presentation if I have missed something you may ping me, also you may go ahead and file a feature request for any vscode feature you find worthy. We already have some features that are not present in vscode like dependency browser and integration with project explorer.

Emacs being VScode for power users is not that far in the future. It will be sooner with more contrubutors, though . I hope that lsp-java will become more popular and it will attract more contributors.
