IXTextBuilderParticipant for VS Code [message #1796278]

I have an Eclipse Plugin which I am trying to convert into a VS-Code Plugin

All the generators are called inside a class which implements IXtextBuilderParticipant on every save.

IXtextBuilderParticipant allows the processing of resources that are build by an Eclipse Project Builder (Ithink)

All the Generators are then dependent on a Data-Class which is generated by processing resources.

Now I want to do something similar for VS-Code.

What is the best way to proceed here?

Is IXTextBuilderParticipant only available for Eclipse Plugins, can I use something similar for a VS-Code Extension?

Or do I have to rewrite lots of code here=?

there is no such things. there is only one IGenerator2 for one lang.
you have to bind a common one in ide module

alternatively you could come up with something that works with java service loaders (if you are familiar with that)

Sebastian Zarnekow just presented an interesting approach to combine service loader with Guice modules at JCON2018. Could work for that case.

Basic idea: Declare Guice modules as provided services that are looked up with service loader to create a combined injector.
