Just some thoughts:

- For Kawa's Java code I'm using the Emacs lsp-mode as client and
Eclipse's jdt-server.  While I wouldn't call that combo great, it
certainly helps navigating the code.  (I'm still using make directly to
compile things.)

- It seems to me that an LSP server would like to have something like a
"project" file that lists the interesting source files, libraries etc.
I suppose plain Makefiles will not work so well for that; maybe Ant
files would work better.  Or maybe Kawa should have something like
Rust's Cargo.  My guess is that this will be an important design
decision.
