Description

We are currently building language server protocol based support for Dart in the https://github.com/vogellacompany/eclipse-dart project.

Do you have plans to move also to a language server protocol based approach? The big advantage is that the server implementation can be in Groovy and that the editor support in Eclipse requires only ~50 lines of code.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing Groovy Eclipse tooling and the referenced eclipse-dart project to understand the proposed language server approach. Define the scope for editor support in Eclipse and Visual Studio Code, then confirm that both integrations consume the Groovy-based server.
