Xtend support for VS Code

[christi...@nineconnections.com]

Would really love to have Xtend working in VSCode, just like Xtext.

Ideally... should Xtend not be built in Xtext, and Xtext create the syntax support for VSCode?

[Sven Efftinge (sven@efftinge.de)]

Yes, that would be awesome indeed.

https://github.com/eclipse/xtext-core/issues/159 is open for a year now.
that's the main blocker point for that.
here are my very old experiments https://github.com/cdietrich/xtext-languageserver-xbase-example

That experiment looks like just the thing Christian!

Is that issue 159 hard to overcome?

well i am neither familiar with the internals of maven npr gradle to say how easy it is to populate a clasloader with whatever a gradle or maven project defines.

I suppose you can do this using Gradle Toling API. Here's an example:
