Meghanada-Mode

Since we already have LSP, this product is no longer necessary, right?

This project is almost never used. This is because there is a useful product lsp-java. Please use it.

A Better Java Development Environment for Emacs

• Gradle and Maven and Eclipse project support
• No need build tool's plugin
• Run build tool task
• Compile your project
• Syntax check and analyze java source (flycheck-meghanada)
• Support Generic Types and Lambda
• Code completion with company-mode (company-meghanada)
• Optimize import and sort
• Find definitions and references using builtin xref

(Welcome contributions !)

Dependencies

Meghanada has been developed Emacs 25.1.1

Elisp dependencies

Package	Version
cl-lib	0.5
yasnippet	0.6.1
company-mode	0.9.0
flycheck	0.23

Language Server

meghanada-mode require meghanada-server and JDK (not JRE).

meghanada-server is The language server. The language server provides a simple interface between meghanada-mode and It is a protocol based on a simple S-expression. This server is developed in Java and supports Java version 8 or later.

The architecture between the server and the client is very similar to the language server protocol. The server retrieves and updates all information in the Java project at file save time and at compile time. If the autocompletion information is not displayed correctly, please try to fix the compilation error first.

Installation

Elisp

Install meghanada from melpa.

Configuration

An example is shown below.

(require 'meghanada)
(add-hook 'java-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            ;; meghanada-mode on
            (meghanada-mode t)
            (flycheck-mode +1)
            (setq c-basic-offset 2)
            ;; use code format
            (add-hook 'before-save-hook 'meghanada-code-beautify-before-save)))
(cond
   ((eq system-type 'windows-nt)
    (setq meghanada-java-path (expand-file-name "bin/java.exe" (getenv "JAVA_HOME")))
    (setq meghanada-maven-path "mvn.cmd"))
   (t
    (setq meghanada-java-path "java")
    (setq meghanada-maven-path "mvn")))

Meghanada-Server

The server will be automatically installed to ~/.emacs.d/meghanada/meghanada-x.x.jar.

If you open a java file and set meghanada-mode, a meghanada-server process starts automatically and connects to your Emacs.

Updating

The server will be automatically updated. To manually update bellows, type

M-x meghanada-update-server

Manual Server Installation

The server will be installed and updated automatically.

If you set it up manually, please follow the instructions below.

Download meghanada-setup.jar

A meghanada-setup.jar is a small program that automatically updates the server.

This can be downloaded from:

https://github.com/mopemope/meghanada-server/releases/download/v1.0.13/meghanada-setup-0.0.2.jar

Move the downloaded setup.jar to .emacs.d/meghanada/. Start Emacs and enable meghanada-mode.

Autocompletion

Autocompletion is supported by company-mode. Supported autocompletions are as follows

• Import Class
• Class
• Method
• Field
• Local Variable

If the completion candidates are not displayed correctly, try to fix the compilation error first. Auto-completion matching is optional. Try typing the following to find out more.

M-x customize-group RET meghanada and M-x customize-group RET company-meghanada.

Syntax/error checking

Syntax checks, such as compile errors, are supported by flycheck. This includes -Xlint warnings.

Code formatter

meghanada-mode uses google-java-format by default for formatter.

It also support Eclipse formatter.

If you want to customize and use the Eclipse formatter please export the formatter settings from Eclipse to a file.

Then rename the file to meghanadaFormatter.xml and place it in the project root or subproject root. Meghanada will automatically load and import it.

If you want to use a system wide formatter, deploy the file to $HOME/.emacs.d/meghanada/meghanadaFormatter.xml.

Debug

meghanada-mode has no debugger yet. However, the external debugger is supported.

if you want to debug your code, execute meghanada-debug-xxxx function and then use realgud, etc.

# in Emacs now:
 M-x meghanada-debug-junit-class
 Please wait ...
 M-x realgud:jdb
 Run jdb (like this): jdb -attach 6006
 Set uncaught java.lang.Throwable
   Set deferred uncaught java.lang.Throwable
   Initializing jdb ...
   >
   VM Started: No frames on the current call stack

   main[1] stop at example.MyClass:100 // set breakpoint
   main[1] run

Customize

To customize other aspects of its behavior, type M-x customize-group RET meghanada and M-x customize-group RET company-meghanada.

Troubleshooting

See *meghanada-server-log* buffer. or (temporary-file-directory)meghanada_server_(user-uid).log, e.g. /tmp/meghanada_server_1000.log.

Please press C-g when emacs seems to hang.
