Introduction

GitHub Copilot is an AI coding assistant platform that helps us while writing code by suggesting lines or blocks of code & troubleshooting them. This guide walks you through installing GitHub Copilot in Eclipse ADT (ABAP Development Tools).

Pre-requisites

  • Eclipse IDE with ADT installed

  • Existing Github account

Steps

  • Open Eclipse IDE and navigate to: Help - Eclipse Marketplace

  • Chat option: Use the Open Chat option to communicate with Copilot. We can also select the context/object for which we're asking questions or resolving errors.

Conclusion

After using it for few cases of RAP, I feel it needs to be evolve further for ABAP specific developments.  On the other hand the VSCode copilot extension works better for CAP developments in case of code suggestions & troubleshooting.
