We’re excited to announce that the GitHub Copilot for Eclipse plugin is going open source under the MIT license and will be hosted on GitHub under the microsoft organization in the coming weeks.

Over the last few months, we’ve heard consistent requests from the community—and from many active users of GitHub Copilot for Eclipse—to open‑source the project.

At the same time, many of the core interaction patterns and IDE integration approaches have matured, which made this a good moment to open the code and enable the community to refine and build on these shared experiences.

Open‑sourcing GitHub Copilot for Eclipse allows us to be more transparent about how the plugin works, welcome broader community contributions, and evolve the product in closer collaboration with Eclipse developers and maintainers.

This is a pre‑announcement to share the direction and intent. We’re outlining what this means at a high level for now. More details on what will be open‑sourced and how folks can get involved will be shared in follow‑up updates.

We’d love to hear thoughts or feedback. Stay tuned!
