[lsp4e-dev] Dependency on Guava?

[Mickael Istria <mistria@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'd like to use Guava's RangeMap in LSP4E (to store interesting markers and fix https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=548697 ). This really seems like the exact data structure needed here, and it's annoying enough to implement to IMO be worth adding a depedency.

Does anyone have concern with LSP4E depending on Guava? I know it's been causing some issues to some other projects in the past, so I'm wondering whether adding Guava is sustainable or whether it's basically going to cost us more effort in future maintenance than it will save in reusing its RangeMap ?

Thanks in advance for your insights!
