Research direction

Open the README's “Eclipse JDT Language Server” section and compare its instructions with the deprecation message from M-x lsp-java-update-server. Update the documented command to the C-u M-x lsp-install-server workflow, then verify that the section no longer recommends the deprecated command.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I'm using lsp-java with:

  • Emacs 29
  • Debian 12
  • Java 21.0.1

When I use M-x lsp-java-update-server, I get the following message:

lsp-java-update-server: lsp-java-update-server is deprecated, use ‘C-u M-x lsp-install-server’

Please update Eclipse JDT Language Server section of the README file to reflect the change.
