feat: re-implement language pack updater #640

Closed sebthom closed 8 months ago

sebthom commented 8 months ago

This PR replaces the current Ant/XSLT based updater with an implementation I developed for https://github.com/sebthom/extra-syntax-highlighting-eclipse-plugin.

It has the following advantages:

considerably faster
debuggable (can be run/debugged via Eclipse)
provides rich console output allowing to understand when/why failures occur
downloads icons if present
can source syntax files from multiple github repos (this feature is currently not used)
