+    There are 3 ways to get the jdtls server (ranked from easiest to hardest):
+    1. Install it from your distros repo
+    2. Download a milestone from: https://download.eclipse.org/jdtls/milestones
+       then extract it.
+    3. Compile it from source: https://github.com/eclipse/eclipse.jdt.ls
