Re: [pmd-devel] Google Summer of Code 2018

[Andreas D. <and...@ad...>]

Another idea, but it's very vague: How about, if PMD would provide
support for the language server protocol?

https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/

It definitely would need some thought and PoCs (e.g. we do not need only
access to the source code of a single file, but also to the compiled
classes).

But it might open the door to integrate into other tools/editors and
would be something like "PMD as a Service" :)
