Better extension name for more exposure #807
Description
Congratulations!
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/VSCode
vscode-java made its way to the most popular extension list and now on the frontpage of vscode marketplace. This is really a nice thing to gain more exposure and reaching out to more users.
But by only looking at the item itself, it's a bit hard to tell this is a Java extension. Users only see "Language Server for...", only without Java.
I would suggest that we optimize the name for better exposure by putting Java first. Something like "Java Language Server by Red Hat TM".

I very much agree！

I agree, but this is in the hands of the Red Hat legal department. The Java trademark has some strict restrictions, we can't just do whatever we want.

Hey @fbricon any update on this? "Java Language Support" should check all legal boxes.

I don't think this will be done.
