The change contributed in https://github.com/sbt/sbt/pull/4130 to start sbt within VS Code looked ok at first, but when I published the extension and started using it, I realized that it's a bit broken.
Basically there's no cleanup logic (that I could find), so simply closing VS Code would leave `project/target/active.json` behind, which lets VS Code extension to attempt connection, and it fails because there's no server running. To workaround this, I'll attempt to connect to the socket to confirm sbt server is up.
This adds Scala syntax for VS Code. The current plugin was relying on daltonjorge/vscode-scala for detecting that `*.scala` is a Scala source. This change integrates the plugin into this one.
daltonjorge/vscode-scala is licensed under MIT license.
This is the first cut for the Language Server Protocol on top of server that is still work in progress.
With this change, sbt is able to invoke `compile` task on saving files in VS Code.
