Language Server Protocol & Debug Adapter Protocol to the Rescue of Web Development in Eclipse IDE

UD2.119
Mickael Istria
The state of Web (HTML, CSS, JS...) development in Eclipse IDE used to be bad. Indeed, some internal parsers had to be maintained to follow the frequent and major changes in those standards; the developer community behind them couldn't catch up, leading tools to a pretty bad and outdated state. Fortunately, the rise of technologies like TextMate grammars, Language Servers and Debug Adapters as reusable components have allowed Eclipse ecosystem to catch up with the best tools for web development. By integrating pieces of VSCode and others and with a relatively small investment, Eclipse Wild Web Developer provides a quite comfortable and efficient tool set for a wide variety of web-based projects. In this presentation, we'll demo Wild Web Developer in practicie, explaining as we demo how the LSP/DAP world is leveraged to enable those productive workflows.

With releases of Java coming thick and fast every 6 months, it's a full time job staying on top of the features. If your IDE can help you here, it's one less thing to worry about. IntelliJ IDEA Community had three releases this year, each on improved the support for modern versions of Java, but that's not the only thing on offer. Join this session to see what's new in IntelliJ IDEA Community (the free one!). This is not limited to just supporting new language features, which some of us might not ...

The Java platform experiences an outburst of cool new features – recently, local variable type inference, switch enhancements and multi-line string literals have been added to the Java language. Many other features are being in the pipeline and are actively worked on, like simple data carriers and pattern matching for the Java language, or value classes for the Java virtual machine. These features are delivered quickly, thanks to the recently adopted, predictable, six-months schedule of major ...

In this session, we will explore how the Language Server Protocol, LSP, is used to aid developers. We will cover not only the Java language, but also other languages, especially those supported by the GraalVM, like JavaScript, R, Python, Ruby. This includes development in various IDEs and editors, for example the NetBeans IDE and VisualStudio Code.
