Installation

Spacemacs

lsp-java is included in spacemacs (for now only on the dev branch). If you are using the development version of spacemacs you can simply add (java :variables java-backend 'lsp) to dotspacemacs-configuration-layers.

Install via melpa

The recommended way to install LSP Java is via package.el - the built-in package manager in Emacs. LSP Java is available on the two major package.el community maintained repos - MELPA Stable and MELPA.

M-x package-install [RET] lsp-java [RET]

Then add the following lines to your .emacs and open a file from the any of the specified projects.

(require 'lsp-java)
(add-hook 'java-mode-hook #'lsp)

Eclipse JDT Language Server

lsp-java will automatically detect when the server is missing and it will download Eclipse JDT Language Server before the first startup. The server installation will be in lsp-java-server-install-dir. It will detect whether dap-mode is present and it will download the required server side plugins/components. If you want to update the server you can run lsp-java-update-server. To run specific version of Eclipse JDT Language Server use lsp-java-server-install-dir.

Quick start

Minimal configuration with company-capf and lsp-ui and dap-mode. Set lsp-java-workspace-dir in case you have existing Java projects. Now you can explore the methods under lsp-java-*, dap-java-*, dap-*, and lsp-*.

(condition-case nil
    (require 'use-package)
  (file-error
   (require 'package)
   (add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/"))
   (package-initialize)
   (package-refresh-contents)
   (package-install 'use-package)
   (setq use-package-always-ensure t)
   (require 'use-package)))

(use-package projectile)
(use-package flycheck)
(use-package yasnippet :config (yas-global-mode))
(use-package lsp-mode :hook ((lsp-mode . lsp-enable-which-key-integration)))
(use-package hydra)
(use-package company)
(use-package lsp-ui)
(use-package which-key :config (which-key-mode))
(use-package lsp-java :config (add-hook 'java-mode-hook 'lsp))
(use-package dap-mode :after lsp-mode :config (dap-auto-configure-mode))
(use-package dap-java :ensure nil)
(use-package helm-lsp)
(use-package helm
  :config (helm-mode))
(use-package lsp-treemacs)

STS4 Integration (experimental)

LSP java has integration with STS4 providing the following functionality.

Spring boot support (Experimental)

In addition to the integration with Eclipse JDT Language Server lsp-java provides integration with STS4 which covers Spring Boot application.properties, application.yml and .java files.

Usage:

Make sure that you have configured JAVA_HOME. lsp-java will automatically download the STS4 when you call lsp-java-update-server. In order to enable STS4 integration add the following lines to your config:

(require 'lsp-java-boot)

;; to enable the lenses
(add-hook 'lsp-mode-hook #'lsp-lens-mode)
(add-hook 'java-mode-hook #'lsp-java-boot-lens-mode)

Functionality for `.java`

Navigating the source code - Go to symbol in file/workspace

Easy navigation to Spring-specific elements of your source code.

Commands

lsp-workspace-symbol - (works better usign helm-lsp)

Examples

@/ shows all defined request mappings (mapped path, request method, source location)
@+ shows all defined beans (bean name, bean type, source location)
@> shows all functions (prototype implementation)
@ shows all Spring annotations in the code

Quick-access for running apps

Easy navigation to the provided request mappings of running apps.

Commands

lsp-workspace-symbol - (works better usign helm-lsp)

Examples

// shows all request mappings of all running Spring Boot apps and opens a browser for the selected endpoint

Live application information hovers

STS4 automatically detects JVM processes for running boot applications on your local machine.

For some types of information, STS 4 may also show a 'quick summary' as a codelens.

If there are multiple instances of the app running on your machine, the live data from all those instances will show up in the hover information.

(add-hook 'java-mode-hook #'lsp-java-boot-lens-mode)

Examples

@Profile: shows information about the active profiles on the running apps
@Component, @Bean, @Autowired: shows detailed information about the beans and their wiring from the live app
@ContidionalOn...: shows information about the conditions and their evaluation at runtime

Code templates

Write Spring code with templates, available via regular code completion.

Examples

@GetMapping
@PostMapping
@PutMapping

Smart code completions

Additional code completions for Spring-specific annotations

Functionality for `.properties` and `.yml`

This extension analyzes your project's classpath and parses and indexes any Spring Boot Properties Metadata it finds. Both Maven and Gradle projects are supported.

The data in the index is used to provide validation, code completions and information hovers while editing Spring Boot Properties in either .properties or .yml format.

Validation and code completion in properties file

Validation and code completion in yaml file

FAQ

LSP Java is showing to many debug messages, how to stop that? Add the following configuration.

(setq lsp-inhibit-message t)

lsp-ui does not display all of the actions on the current point(e. g "Extract constant")? LSP UI by default sends current line bounds for action region which breaks forces JDT server to return only "Extract method action."

(setq lsp-ui-sideline-update-mode 'point)

LSP Java does not provide completion, go to definition for some of the files?

When particular file is not part of imported project Eclipse JDT Language Server could not calculate the current classpath.

How do I change the version of java used by LSP?

Have a look at ~/.emacs.d/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.launching/libraryInfos.xml. If you updated your local java path and want LSP to use the new version, try removing the ~/.emacs.d/workspace/ directory and relaunch LSP. Also see #114. If you have multiple java JDK versions installed and want to change the version of java used by LSP, also need to set lsp-java-configuration-runtimes. An example for setting lsp-java-configuration-runtimes:

(setq lsp-java-configuration-runtimes '[(:name "JavaSE-1.8"
						:path "/home/kyoncho/jdk1.8.0_201.jdk/")
					(:name "JavaSE-11"
						:path "/home/kyoncho/jdk-11.0.1.jdk/"
						:default t)])

How do I change JVM args passed to JDT server? LSP slowness could be caused by slow JDT server, especially on large JAVA projects. Bump up the heap size maybe a good idea.

;; current VSCode defaults
(setq lsp-java-vmargs '("-XX:+UseParallelGC" "-XX:GCTimeRatio=4" "-XX:AdaptiveSizePolicyWeight=90" "-Dsun.zip.disableMemoryMapping=true" "-Xmx2G" "-Xms100m"))
