Support platform specific extension

[heartacker]

Server binary download failed: certificate signature failure. Cannot start XML language server, since Java is missing.

some like c/c++, https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/releases
please provide the offline package for specify platform. OR provide a package that contains all platform server execute file.
thanks

That's an interesting possibility, though we're actually eagerly waiting for platform-specific vsix support from upstream vscode/marketplace: microsoft/vscode#23251

thsnks, Maybe now you can provide a package that include all perform executefile before that has implemented for nowadays

Yup, this should be possible now with https://code.visualstudio.com/api/working-with-extensions/publishing-extension#platformspecific-extensions . Looks like we just need to use npm_config_arch and --target for the vsce package command.

hope that we could earn this soon

I'm a bit confused. Is there still an automatic download of the binary as mentioned in https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-xml#requirements?
https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-xml/releases/tag/0.21.0 says:

Use platform specific .vsix files, and package the lemminx binary into the .vsix

?!?

Additional: would you mind to place the .vsix into the release assets, too? The current release only contains the lemminx binaries.

We'll need to update the documentation there.

If installing through VS Code and your platform is detected as one of : linux-x64, win32-x64, darwin-x64, or darwin-arm64, then the vsix that will be installed is specific to that platform. If you're on another platform, you'll get the generic vsix, which will download the lemminx binary.

I think we can add the vsix files as well to the release tab. They're archived as part of the build so we can copy them over.
