LSP instructions

If using an LSP based editor plugin and the syntax highlighting / code completion is not working, there are 2 ways to fix that.

• Create a compile_flags.txt with following content:

-I<path_to_folder_containing_jni_headers>

This might need the OS specific include folder as well, so that transitively included headers can be found. Example:

-I/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/include
-I/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/include/linux

Note that this file should contain one compilation flag per line.

• create a compilation database by prefixing bear to your cmake build.

Run cmake --build command from your source, prefixed with bear.

bear -- cmake --build <build_dir>

On some distro versions of bear command, the -- needs to be omitted.

bear cmake --build <build_dir>
