Questions about start working on contributing to both the LS and Extension

[gayanper]

I would really like to add support for extensions like SpringBootTools and Quarkus with this Java extension. At least from my experience the SprintBootTools support can be easily get working with few custom LS APIs exposed to be used for STS LS.

Now to experiment this work I would like to get this extension and LS working inside vscode so that I can hack the code and run it from vscode and debug. Is there a way to get that working without installing netbeans for LS and vscode for extension work ?

IMO starting point could be setting up the codebase by following the https://github.com/oracle/javavscode/blob/main/BUILD.md instructions.

For development of this extension you need to clone netbeans as well inside the repo then only it would work. You can follow the steps given in the BUILD.md file.

Should I close this issue or do you have some more queries?

I think we can close this now.
