  • This is a new project setup
  • The project is identified as an Eclipse GitHub Copilot plugin

PENDING:

  • Create README.md file with appropriate content for an Eclipse plugin project
  • Include standard sections such as:
    • Project description
    • Installation instructions
    • Usage guidelines
    • Development setup
    • Contributing guidelines
    • License information
  • Document plugin features and capabilities
  • Provide information about GitHub Copilot integration
  • Include prerequisites and dependencies

CODE STATE:

  • No files have been created or modified yet
  • README.md needs to be created from scratch

RELEVANT CODE/DOCUMENTATION SNIPPETS:
None provided yet.

OTHER NOTES:

  • The project is in its initial stage
  • This appears to be the first artifact being created for the project
  • The README should be tailored specifically for Eclipse plugin development
  • Should include GitHub Copilot-specific integration details

💡 You can make Copilot smarter by setting up custom instructions, customizing its development environment and configuring Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Learn more Copilot coding agent tips in the docs.
