The proposed plan of action is:
3.1.- Move "cpplite/cpplite.debugger" to "cnd/cnd.debugger" Generate "compile_commands.json" automatically in Make based projects in a new module "cnd.lsp".
3.2.- Gradually integrate LSP support in cnd.lsp (and remove it from cpplite).
- Added some enhancements to master/ide/lsp.client, and update cnd from master:
3.3.- Add debugging support in cnd.debugger (dropping cpplite.debugger).
3.43.2.- Get rid of "cnd/cnd.debugger/external/cpplite-mi-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar" retrieving donated stuff from contrib/cnd.debugger as required
Steps 3.3 and 3.4 above merged in https://github.com/apache/netbeans/commit/9bdac2b8ed38528a3b196fbdd0424d34717f4e3a , we've recovered cnd.debugger.common2 and cnd.debugger.gdb from contrib).
3.5.- Migration path from "cpplite" projects to "Make based projects with existing sources.
NOTE: Cpplite "lsp" support does not currently register the LSP servers in the Options Dialog as "ide/lsp.client" does. We could explore the possibility to use "clangd", "ccls" (as cpplite does) or even Apple's sourcekit-lsp: https://github.com/apple/sourcekit-lsp and register them in the Options Dialog of "ide/lsp.client".
