Re: [wtp-dev] XML Language Server based on WTP?

[Mickael Istria <mistria@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think it's a good idea.
That said, it's a big piece of work to make a LS on top of WTP. Moreoever, this LS would be pretty huge (we're talking about probably a hundred MB to bring WTP XML as a LS), so it may not easily fit in VSCode Marketplace. JDT-LS had to workaround it with a relatively complex system that downloads the RCP part at first startup, otherwise the VSCode marketplace wouldn't allow the extension.

So before you get started with it, make sure that the effort is worth it. It's up to you to figure out how much you're ready to invest in this LS to ship it for VSCode.

About BlueSky, if we want XML in BlueSky, it seems infinitely simpler to just embed WTP-XML than to create a language server on top of WTP-XML.
