Description

Xtext has adopted the new code mining API. A developer's task is to provide a language specific code mining provider. This is basically the same what an ICodeLensService does.

Xtext should provide a generic code mining provider which uses a language specific ICodeLensService when available. It basically translates CodeLens to ICodeMining.
