Contributions are essential for keeping this language server great. We try to keep it as easy as possible to contribute changes and we are open to suggestions for making it even easier. There are only a few guidelines that we need contributors to follow.
-
Fork and clone this repository

Build/Test LemMinx on Mac/Linux:
$ ./mvnw verify
or for Windows:
$ mvnw.cmd verify
The LemMinx language server must be debugged remotely as it's most useful when connected to a client. In order to debug, one needs to look at whether the specific language client provides such a capability. For example :
- Eclipse Wild Web Developer can set LemMinx in debug mode by passing the system property
org.eclipse.wildwebdeveloper.xml.internal=${port}to have the language server listening to debug connections on ${port}
- VSCode XML can set LemMinx in debug mode by either debugging the extension itself, or by adding
-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=${port}to the"xml.server.vmargs"client setting.
