Description
As for Xtext language server, Hover works only for the documentation section. For eclipse, hover gets provided at many places. We are not getting any advantage by Xtext grammar. At least it should be configurable where with the configuration we can select the eclipse behavior or different behavior.
I would like to understand sense to have hover only for documentation section.
Do we have any plan to make things separated and common for eclipse and LSP?
