LanguageTool Extension for Visual Studio Code - ARCHIVED

Project Archival

Adam Voss, originator of this project, passed away on July 11, 2018. I (David Day) inherited his languagetool-language-server projects. I didn't know Adam at all, and I spent about a year trying to figure out what to do with this gift. I've ultimately decided to archive the LanguageTool Extension and related repositories. This extension will no longer be maintained, and will likely be removed from the Extension Marketplace. However, I am still pursuing the idea of contributing Adam's server-side LSP code back to the LangugeTool project.

Here are some alternative extensions:

1. LT_EX, which is a fork of @adamvoss original work by @valentjn and thus is preserving his code and memory, which was the most important thing that kept me hanging on to these projects.
2. LanguageTool Linter, which is a new extension I've authored based on the Atom Linter LanguageTool extension.
3. languagetool, which I know nothing about.

Good luck, and Peace.

RIP Adam Voss, July 11, 2018.
