Migrate to Java 8 #28

Closed svenefftinge closed 7 years ago

svenefftinge commented 8 years ago

In order to make contributions and usage as simple as possible for Java devs, we should migrate our code base to Java 8. (see comments like https://github.com/TypeFox/ls-api/issues/25#issuecomment-234561406)

For the protocol types we should still use a code generator written in Xtend (just because using Java here would be too painful) but the actual implementation should be pure Java.

Also once there is a formal definition of the protocol (see https://github.com/Microsoft/language-server-protocol/pull/40) we should use that as the source for our code generator.

While reworking the code for lsp4j, with the main two goals 1) better separation of jsonrpc and lsp 2) easier custom extendability of LSP I write all the new code in J8. There are still some left over, which we will translate in the coming days.

Finished the conversion for the service / jsonrpc code. The protocol data structures are still generated with Xtend. How this is going to be done in the future is discussed in #49.
