setup

An interactive setup command for Java development that installs Eclipse JDT LS, a Java language server, plus Maven and Gradle build tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a Java project for language-server features such as editor assistance and to verify the required Java tools.
Why use it?
It gathers the main setup steps and checks into one workflow, reducing manual environment configuration.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Per session 8 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 441 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

setup scanned grade C with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

What it actually says

Java LSP Setup

This command will configure your Java development environment with Eclipse JDT LS and essential tools.

Prerequisites Check

First, verify Java is installed (JDK 21+ recommended):

java -version

Installation Steps

1. Install Eclipse JDT LS Server

macOS (Homebrew):

brew install jdtls

Manual Installation:

  1. Download from: https://download.eclipse.org/jdtls/snapshots/
  2. Extract to a directory (e.g., ~/.local/share/jdtls)
  3. Add to PATH or create a wrapper script

2. Install Build Tools

Maven:

brew install maven

Gradle:

brew install gradle

3. Install Development Tools (Optional)

# Google Java Format
brew install google-java-format

# Checkstyle (usually via Maven/Gradle plugin)

4. Verify Installation

jdtls --version
mvn -version
gradle --version

5. Enable LSP in Claude Code

export ENABLE_LSP_TOOL=1

Verification

Test the LSP integration:

# Create a test project
mkdir -p /tmp/test-java-lsp/src/main/java && cd /tmp/test-java-lsp
echo 'public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello"); } }' > src/main/java/Main.java

# Create minimal pom.xml
cat > pom.xml << 'EOF'
<project>
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <groupId>test</groupId>
  <artifactId>test</artifactId>
  <version>1.0</version>
</project>
EOF

# Compile
mvn compile

# Clean up
cd - && rm -rf /tmp/test-java-lsp
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

setup is a command published in the GitHub repository zircote/java-lsp (1 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 8 tokens to every session and 441 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
