TITLE: Create README for Eclipse GitHub Copilot Plugin Project

USER INTENT: Create a README file for an Eclipse GitHub Copilot plugin project

TASK DESCRIPTION: Generate a comprehensive README.md file for a new Eclipse plugin project that integrates GitHub Copilot functionality into the Eclipse IDE.

EXISTING:

  • The project is established as an Eclipse GitHub Copilot plugin project
  • No specific files, code, or implementation details were discussed

PENDING:

  • Create README.md file with appropriate content for an Eclipse plugin project
  • Include standard sections: project description, installation instructions, features, usage guide, development setup, contribution guidelines, etc.
  • Document plugin-specific information relevant to Eclipse and GitHub Copilot integration

CODE STATE:

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

RELEVANT CODE/DOCUMENTATION SNIPPETS:

  • None provided in the conversation

OTHER NOTES:

  • This is the initial request with minimal context
  • The README should follow best practices for Eclipse plugin documentation
  • Should consider including sections on: prerequisites, Eclipse version compatibility, GitHub Copilot requirements, licensing information, and troubleshooting
  • The conversation was very brief with no technical details shared beyond the project type

✨ Let Copilot coding agent set things up for you — coding agent works faster and does higher quality work when set up for your repo.
