Language Server Protocol Syntax Highlighting [message #1796598]

I am building a VS-Code Plugin based on this Project Setup:

https://github.com/itemis/xtext-languageserver-example

Although language server protocol supports syntax highlighting, it seems in VS-Code Extension, I need to create a json File, and explicitly state all keywords that I want the IDE to highlight.

However , I have many keywords and I would like out of the box highlighting for all the keywords defined in my Xtext Grammar?

Is there something I can do on the server side, for example in my IDE Project to achieve this?

Thanks

No you have to implement whatever your client offers for that (eg Textmaterial grammar)
