README.md should link a minimal complete language client example package right below the example code excerpt about atom-languageclient HOT 5 CLOSED

Right beneath that section is another section called Available packages that links to complete GitHub repos for Atom packages for Java (Eclipse JDT language server) and C# (Omnisharp-node language server)

from atom-languageclient.

Yes I am aware, however that was not the point of the ticket.

The point was that IMHO real world examples that are usually more complex aren't an ideal replacement for a most minimal but ocmplete working example, which I think should be prepared and added as a link as well. It's just a better place to start than a (good) code example which is nevertheless not fully described in where it needs to go and then just sending off the newcomers to real world packages that go beyond illustrating the most basic setup.

It's just a minor nitpick really. Feel free to ignore it too, I just felt like it was a point worth improving when I read the README.md for the first time.

Sorry I didn't make it clear - the Omnisharp C# one at https://github.com/atom/languageserver-csharp is just the code from the README with the necessary support files to make it an Atom package - i.e. what I thought you were asking for. There is zero other code.

I agree that many language servers are going to require a lot more additional plumbing (the Java one for example has downloads and platform-specific args) but the Omnisharp one is as minimal as can be.

Ah. Maybe add a note to the README.md then? Since the Java LSP is linked first and obviously has more stuff going on, it's not super obvious that there is also a minimal base example available in one of the later links.

Also, I think it might be helpful for visibility to actually link just this one right below the snippet as a "and here you have this snippet packaged up nicely to run it immediately" kind of thing, and not just in the further down section with the more expanded collection of related packages and other examples.

Edit: just for clarification, what happened to me is that I ended up looking at the Java LSP instead when I read the README for the first time. It wasn't bad to start with, but I would have preferred a minimal working example instead if I had known that was linked in the README.md. Hence this ticket suggestion to improve the visibility of a minimal base packaged up thing

I'll reorder them and clarify it in the readme, thanks.
