im sure with enough time and dedication i can write an ant vineflower task to decompile a whole dependency in some directory, and an lsp which will be able to consume that, which is pretty much all we need to comfortably write minecraft mods

jdtls needing the lsp client to hook with the compiler instead of doing it itself is bulshit
Oct 12, 2026, 6:38 PM@SRAZKVT idk what jdtls is but ant was always good to me- sarah tonin :wlfBlep:SRAZKVT@tech.lgbtOct 12, 2026, 6:46 PM
@wyatt jdtls is eclipse's lsp built on top of their own tooling
it doesn't support ant projects and has a lot of weird restrictions (want to have a source view of some compiled dependency ? your lsp client's gotta handle it itself, who cares every other lsp can do it)
- Oct 12, 2026, 6:47 PM@SRAZKVT ah i see
yeah ant is better
eclipse was always a crashy buggy mess when it tried it, ended up using netbeans when i was still doing normal IDE's instead of emacs
