Description

I'm implementing an LSP console in IJ by mimicing the LSP4E LoggingStreamConnectionProviderProxy, but the main problem with this code is that it doesn't format correctly the JSON request / responses / notfication like vscode does.

It is very hard to read messages and IMHO I think LSP4E should have the same format for LSP logs than vscode to provide teh capability to compare LSP traces between Eclipse IDE and vscode (I did that for IJ).

I wonder why we need LoggingStreamConnectionProviderProxy since we log the message here https://github.com/eclipse/lsp4e/blob/9f06f405409541d2015438a7e153ef674b30e85f/org.eclipse.lsp4e/src/org/eclipse/lsp4e/LanguageServerWrapper.java#LL281C6-L281C16. Calling message.toString() format correctly the LSP request / reponses / notification:

Research direction

Start with LoggingStreamConnectionProviderProxy and the logging call in org.eclipse.lsp4e/LanguageServerWrapper.java around line 281. Compare the current message.toString() output with the formatting shown for VS Code LSP traces, then clarify whether the proxy is still needed and what matching output should look like; the issue does not name a test.
