`GitHub Copilot for Eclipse` is now open source

The Eclipse plugin code is now on GitHub under MIT. Useful for Java-heavy shops, but limited upside if your stack lives in VS Code or JetBrains.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. The code is available on GitHub with an MIT license, so teams can inspect, fork, and patch the Eclipse integration directly.
  2. This matters most for Eclipse and Java workflows. Next.js or iOS work gets little immediate benefit.
  3. Open-sourcing lowers extension risk: if Copilot support lags, the community can audit or maintain pieces instead of waiting on GitHub.
