Metals

• Neovim + Java LSP on a Play Framework sbt Project — The Missing Guide
  3 projects | dev.to | 26 Mar 2026

  Metals understands sbt natively. Great. But its Java support is minimal — no completions, no hover, no organize imports. A Metals maintainer explicitly stated: "I can't imagine the case when somebody wants to use Metals on a full-java project." Fair enough.

• Scala 3 slowed us down?

  There's still a working Eclipse plugin? Does Eclipse now support LSP servers?

  The most reliable Scala IDE is currently Metals (in VSCode, but other editors work, too). Metals uses directly the compiler for all code intelligence so it's as reliable as the compiler itself.

• I Think It's Time to Give Nix a Chance

  In most cases is enough to have emacs installed as part of OS with all required general cli tools and then open project specific shell with all project dev dependencies like compilers and libs.

  However is some cases when it could be little more tricky, for instance I'm using LSP for Scala (https://scalameta.org/metals/) which on start trying to automatically detect JDK version for project from environment. So if my project depends on JDK 11 it might required for me manually start LSP from nix-shell to force it use right JVM version.

  With Rust is in someway similar, I need to bring some shell with 'rust up' setup so it could install everything for rust-analyzer then emacs can use it.

  Regardless emacs itself is few options to manage emacs packages in nix way but for me it not really gives anything so I just use it as on any other OS.

• Tmux, NeoVim, etc. to write pure Kotlin code?
  2 projects | /r/Kotlin | 30 Apr 2023

  You might want to look at Scala, they have proper LSP support with metals which means you can write your code in vscode, neovim, emacs, or even fleet (the new jetbrains text editor).

• New plugin to support LSP file operations
  6 projects | /r/neovim | 9 Jan 2023

  Please write in the comments if you know of any language servers I should test it with. Currently I tested only metals and rust-analyzer.

• Why are all the guides on using LSP functionality full of bloat?
  3 projects | /r/neovim | 26 Dec 2022

  If you are using nvim-lspconfig you can pass the settings as a Lua table to the setup function. For example, here are may metals settings:

  Bazel support in Metals. I didn't spend all that time figuring out and adjusting Emacs/Spacemacs and making my workflow (almost) mouse-free just to scrap my config and switch to IDEA's rodent infested ways.
