rmuir opened a new issue, #14878:
URL: https://github.com/apache/lucene/issues/14878
### Description
Recently the build logic has moved to java, which is a great improvement
over the groovy from the accessibility perspective, tooling starts to work as
you expect.
The underlying apis to gradle are not so friendly and don't "fully work" in
eclipse-based editor (eclipse or vscode/vim/etc using eclipse JDT language
server), because the generated gradle-api.jar has no source attachment.
Currently the classpath entry looks like this:
```xml
<classpathentry
kind="lib"
path="/home/rmuir/.gradle/caches/8.14/generated-gradle-jars/gradle-api-8.14.jar"
/>
```
Simplest improvement we can do, is to attach javadocs. This isn't as good as
attaching sources: e.g. parameter hints and other fancy features won't work.
But it allows for hover documentation, completion, signature help, to work as
expected, without downloading or manipulating additional data. We just attach
the URL of javadocs to the entry:
```xml
<classpathentry
kind="lib"
path="/home/rmuir/.gradle/caches/8.14/generated-gradle-jars/gradle-api-8.14.jar">
<attributes>
<attribute
name="javadoc_location"
value="https://docs.gradle.org/8.14.2/javadoc"/>
</attributes>
</classpathentry>
```
Eclipse will fetch and cache the information on demand: it makes things
easier to work with.
If we want to get fancier, we have to do more complicated stuff (e.g. switch
from `-bin` to `-all` in gradle-wrapper.properties. Because the sources are
split into 20 subfolders (not by package), we'd have to combine them into one
folder or jar, that can be set as the `sourcepath=`, either packing them or
making symlinks or whatever.
