[lsp4e-dev] Make Preference-based association internal only?

[Mickael Istria <mistria@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'd like to make preference-based association internal-only. Ie accessible only by end-users from the LSP4E preference page, but not letting 3rd party extension manipulate that preference too easily.

The extension point is definitely the recommended way for 3rd party extenders to ship Language Server integration; they're free to rely on a Launch Configuration is they want to, but the language server would still have to be declared through the `org.eclipse.lsp4e.languageServer` extension.

Does anyone have any concern? Are there any of you currently relying on Preferences and Launch Configuration in their extensions?

Thanks in advance,
