Extending JDT with Language Servers
summary
Language servers for Spring Boot are implemented as standalone processes that integrate with Eclipse using LSP4E and reuse the JDT core parser (as a Maven dependency) to parse and resolve bindings, while asking the IDE/JDT or JDTLS for the project classpath instead of calling Maven/Gradle (which proved slow). The result delivers additional content assist, hovers and code lenses (including live runtime hovers showing injected beans) with minimal Eclipse extensions and acceptable performance.
