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)

You may make use of GrammarUtil.getAllKeywords
In a Java Main

Call standalonesetup
Ask injector for grammaraccess
Ask grammar access for grammar
Call until

You may evenwrite a own fragment and add it to the workflow
