Expose che-ls-jdt methods about lsp-java HOT 4 CLOSED

The biggest ones that I'm missing (i think) are che.jdt.ls.extension.plain.createProject, and any features dealing with package/file management (is creating packages done through calls to che, or are they simple directories in disguise?) Anyway, it would be very nice to be able to create new projects/packages/classes from lsp-java as one does in eclipse. How hard would it be for someone to implement those methods?

1. Project creation will create simple project(not maven) which is useful for like school/demo projects which do depend only on JDK. Is this what you are looking for?
2. There is https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vscjava.vscode-maven which I havent checked yet it does support project creation by maven archetype.
3. Currently, you could create class namespace by opening empty file, e. g. /src/main/java/com/yourcompany/Class1.java and then type class which will ask you to expand the class snippet from the JDT server. This is how it is intended to work in vscode. I am not using it, I have the following configuration: https://github.com/yyoncho/config/blob/master/my-snippets.el and the snippet itself: https://github.com/yyoncho/config/blob/master/templates/default-java.el which will insert the package+class once I open new java file. You could use it for whatever templates you want.

For project creation, yes, it would be very nice if you could create it via the lsp server. Certain universities might require a simple eclipse project but not a maven one ;)

I see, so it is manual for package creation. Well, maybe if I get time I could look into doing that automatically from the elisp code then? I'd imagine it could also be made to have really good synergy with the treemacs plugin.

Thank you!

We are not going to use eclipse che for the future.
