trying to connect to jdtls (JAVA) via socat on remote system to avoid tramp lock

[thkoch2001]

Right now, eglot over tramp seems to not work (tramp bug).

Unfortunately, jdtls does also not support to act as a tcp server (jdtls issue). It expects the editor instead to act as the server.

So I thought I could forward the jdtls stdin and stdout with socat:

socat -d -d EXEC:jdtls TCP-LISTEN:2223

With C-u M-x eglot I can provide localhost:2223. Unfortunatly eglot claims

Process EGLOT (yacy_search_server/(java-mode java-ts-mode)) not running

I tested with telnet that port 2223 is indeed forwarded from my VM to the host running emacs.

This is worked around in latest Eglot. The Tramp fix is being discussed in Emacs bug#61350. https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=61350
