Research direction
Explore the LSP4E and LSP4J projects to understand how to integrate a language server into Eclipse. The Eclipse plugin needs to communicate with the haskell ide engine's LSP endpoint. Check the lsp haskell package for reference. Look at existing Eclipse LSP clients for patterns and adapt them to work with the Haskell IDE engine.
