If you do not have Eclipse installed, we recommend downloading the Eclipse IDE for Java and DSL Developers, as it comes with Xtext already pre-installed. The Eclipse Plug-ins for Gradle are also required to import the project.
Import the Gradle project by creating a new workspace in eclipse and selecting File -> Import -> Gradle -> Existing Gradle Project.
Click on Next and select the language-server folder as the Project root directory.
After clicking on Finish, the project and its subdirectories will be imported to the workspace.
