well, it works if i tell jdtls "yeah dw it's not particularly difficult everything in src is the source", but that's if you don't depend on the ant runtime, which, i don't for toy vcs, but i do for this project

yea, having an lsp is nice, but having an lsp that only half works is just unbearable
and no i don't want to switch to something else because i actually like ant but dislike both maven and gradle (which are supported by jdtls)
higumahiguma@sakurajima.moeOct 12, 2026, 6:21 PM@SRAZKVT this is totally reasonable for projects which aren't "enterprise"
i had a course in university where we worked on a java codebase built with GNU makefiles (yes, kinda cursed) and ctags worked decently well for Java, in Emacs

@higuma well makefiles aren't particularly bad, they're not perfectly suited for java, bc makefiles imo don't work great on projects with lots of files, which even modest java projects tend to be, but yea
