• There are java.* actions that's being called by Language Servers. Following are the defined commands in VSCode

• As client, nvim-java-refactor registers client commands to vim.lsp.commands at jdtls LS attach live we have done here

• God knows where is the documentation that defines the approach to handle the action on client side but we could try to replicate what VSCode is doing.

  1. First of all, I would start by grep searching the command in VSCode Java project. Ex:- java.action.overrideMethodsPrompt
  2. Commands are defined as constants in commands.ts file
  3. Do a reference check and find the client command implementation. Ex:- source
  4. Sometimes we might have to send some LSP requests to complete the command. source
  5. Some functions such as apply_workspace_edit is available through vim.lsp.util

We are using request function of vim.lsp.Client function to communicate with the jdtls.

This has almost 1 to 1 mapping with vscode APIs most of the time.

However, some APIs sends more arguments, to which we don't have a Neovim lua equivalent I'm guessing. Following is an example.

To make this request, probably client.rpc.request should be used without request() wrapper.
