• Securing MCP: Applying Lessons Learned from the Language Server Protocol
  4 projects | dev.to | 28 Mar 2025

  I was deeply involved with the Language Server Protocol (LSP) from its earliest days at Red Hat, one of the instrumental organizations in driving LSP adoption. During that time, I contributed to several key implementations, including the second-ever language server—the Java Language Server—and the widely adopted YAML Language Server. These projects became benchmarks for reliability and widespread adoption in developer communities.

• How to use nvim-jdtls for Java and nvim-lspconfig for everything else?
  2 projects | /r/neovim | 8 Apr 2023

  I installed eclipse jdtls which worked for Java, but I was not able to go to definitions for methods/classes outside of my project (ie, libraries and such, something like in IntelliJ where you can go to the definition or implementation for the library code), so I thought it may be a limitation of nvim-lspconfig

  You can absolutely just use Gradle on the command line, and use a language server to get code intelligence in pretty much any editor you like. IntelliJ is very nice, especially for refactoring, but it doesn't have a giant advantage over any other editor, as long as you're sticking to mostly Java.

  Try neovim. Builtin support for language servers which provide the basis for IDE functionality, autocomplete, auto import, code actions, refactoring, etc. I believe VSCode uses jdtls on the backend and you can use the same thing with neovim.

  Is seems like valid manual to start language server here https://github.com/eclipse/eclipse.jdt.ls. Not sure what you mean by "starting it with other editors" though. It should be covered by editor own integration with the given LS.
