Replaced minimal placeholder README with full documentation for an Eclipse IDE plugin that integrates GitHub Copilot functionality.

Sections Added

  • Overview & Prerequisites - Eclipse 2021-06+, JDK 11+, active Copilot subscription requirements
  • Installation - Three methods: Eclipse Marketplace, Update Site, manual dropins deployment
  • Configuration - Authentication flow, preference settings (suggestion delay, auto-trigger, language support)
  • Usage - Inline suggestions, code generation from comments, keyboard shortcuts table
  • Development Setup - Maven/Tycho build configuration, project structure, test execution
  • Contributing - Eclipse coding standards, PR guidelines
  • Troubleshooting - Common issues: authentication, missing suggestions, performance tuning

The README follows Eclipse plugin documentation conventions and assumes standard Eclipse RCP development patterns.
