Hi Brad,

Thanks a lot - appreciate that advice.

I actually tried that route previously, but started having strange issues
with my gradle based projects not long after that (previously working
projects would not load, even after clearing the cache etc). I am not sure
whether that was related to the gradle stuff itself or funny things
happening from updates from older plugin centers (really not sure, i have
no insight / experience into how it all works), but I ended up doing a
clean install to get everything running again.

regarding the ccls approach - do you still need to compile your own
language server, or are their prebuilt binaries available now?

best regards
jonathan
