Description
The LSP should define whether the links returned from hover are 0-based or 1-based. This has created inconsistencies in the java language server where when you click some like file:///foof/bar.java#188 from within VSCode you are brought to line 188 whereas with other editors you are brought to line 187.

Research direction
The issue names LSP hover links and behavior in the Java language server, VSCode, and other editors, but no files or tests. Start by reading the protocol’s hover-link definition and comparing the reported line handling; done means the indexing convention is explicitly defined and the inconsistency has a corresponding verification.
