Installing the VSCode extension pack for Java runs a headless version of Eclipse JDT under the hood, which isn’t quite what I think of as lightweight. | ||

What's wrong with that? If they re-implement the whole thing it would amount to the same code size. It's the JDT language SERVER not some sort of "headless" software with UI needlessly bundled. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=redhat.j... | ||

Java isn't quite what I think of as lightweight. I mean it probably can be, but most Java engineering I know of is all about adding more and more libraries, frameworks, checks, tests, etc. | ||

You can set the launchMode to LightWeight which spins up a syntax-only language server. | ||
