Hey Caroline,

sorry for the long delay. Java and kdev-pg-qt isn't really down my alley=20
anymore, I haven't spent any time on these subjects in multiple years. I'm=
=20
also afraid to say that updating the grammar file to a recent java language=
=20
version would be _quite_ the undertaking!=20

https://techbase.kde.org/Development/KDevelop-PG-Qt_Introduction is some=20
documentation on the topic. But going further than that, we'd need to see y=
our=20
actual problems and then invest a significant time ourselves to get up to=20
speed with this old technology again. I'm afraid that I at least don't have=
=20
the luxury for that right now. Generally, a much better path forward would =
be=20
to integrate the language agnostic LSP into kdevelop, and then get java=20
support through there somehow. There was some interest in that, maybe someo=
ne=20
else from the mailing list can help you with that. That's why I have CC'ed=
=20
that list. Please direct further replies there.

Cheers
