What about using LSP4IJ?

[angelozerr]

I wonder if you could be interested to base your plugin to LSP4IJ which is a free LSP support for Intellij and in 0.10.0 (not-released) it will provide DAP support:

• to consume (for free) the OLS language server
• to provide for any Intellij version (for free) debugging support. See sample with swift which uses lldb-dap -> https://github.com/redhat-developer/lsp4ij/blob/main/docs/dap/user-defined-dap/swift-lldb.md

If you could be interested I suggest that you install (nightly-builds)(https://github.com/redhat-developer/lsp4ij/?tab=readme-ov-file#testing-nightly-builds) (which provides the DAP support) and to test quickly the [OLS language server] (https://github.com/DanielGavin/ols) without developping something I suggest that you read https://github.com/redhat-developer/lsp4ij/blob/main/docs/UserDefinedLanguageServer.md

If you think LSP4IJ could be a good idea, please read https://github.com/redhat-developer/lsp4ij/blob/main/docs/DeveloperGuide.md to integrate the language server with extension point.

Hi @angelozerr ,

yes, I know LSP4J. At the time when I started this project, LSPs were supported only in paid versions of JetBrains IDEs. For that reason, but also just for the fun of it, I decided to implement everything from scratch.

As far as I understand it, this plugin now has better support for code completion and type inference than ols. That said, I will personally not integrate LSP4IJ+ols in my plugin, as I personally don't have any motivation to do so. But I will gladly look through and - if appropriate - accept merge requests about this.

As for DAP support: That's great news! I will look into that! Thank you for letting me know!

I am sorry I will not have time to do that but a simple thing that you could do is to study how to install and start ols. Once you know that you can easily use it i. Lsp4ij without developping something.

It is the first pass of dap support. If you find bugs please report them.

FYI: The Zig plugin (https://github.com/FalsePattern/ZigBrains) uses LSP4IJ. It would be easy to port it to my Odin plugin.

Sure thing.

Indeed and @FalsePattern also contributes to LSP4IJ.

You can find another project which are based on LSP4IJ at https://github.com/redhat-developer/lsp4ij?tab=readme-ov-file#who-is-using-lsp4ij

Have you tried the dap support from LSP4IJ ?

I am working on dap extension point to register a debug adapter server with IJ plugin.

My goal is to provide the capability to customize anything like use your own breakpoint type, use a custom editor. Use a custom configuration type, etc

For the moment you can register a dap server with the extension point, see https://github.com/redhat-developer/lsp4ij/blob/main/docs/dap/DeveloperGuide.md

[angelozerr]

Just for your information, LSP4IJ 0.15.0 has been released and improves dap support with runInTerminal, improve api to customize breakpoint type, settings editor.

For now I am working on DAP disassembly which is supported by lldb-dap.

I think you could be interested with this feature.
