Yes, I’m behind a proxy. I have exported the proxy CA certificate from the Windows Trusted Root Certification Authorities store and imported it into the JVM cacerts used by Eclipse. I also set the JVM options ineclipse.ini to use the Windows certificate store. Despite this, I still get the “unable to get local issuer certificate” error.

I’m trying to install GitHub Copilot 0.8.0.202506180627 into Eclipse 2025-06 (Java EE package) via both the Marketplace client and “Install New Software…” (using the official Azure update-site URL). In both cases the install aborts with:

It appears that the feature JARcom.microsoft.copilot.eclipse.feature_0.8.0.202506180627.jar is listed in the p2 metadata but not actually present on the update site. As a result, Eclipse cannot complete the installation.
Request:
Could you please publish or restore the missing feature JAR (and any dependent bundles) at that URL? Once the artifact is available, the install should succeed via both the Marketplace and manual update-site workflows. Thank you!

Please add support for eGovFrame 2024-3, a Korean government framework, in the GitHub Copilot Eclipse plugin.
eGovFrame (e-Government Framework) is an open-source development framework created and widely used in South Korea for building public service systems. The GitHub Copilot plugin for Eclipse currently does not support the latest version, 2024-3.

Hi,
I was using Copliot successfully earlier, having version 0.5. Recently, I found that the version is updated, so I tried updating the Copilot plugin in my Eclipse-based IDE, STM32Cube IDE. However, I could not update the plugin as it is giving me below dependency error. kinldy suggest how can I move forward.
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.

How to sign out from a disabled account?
Submitted byHayato Yoshida on Sun, 04/06/2025 - 20:55
How do I sign out on Copilot for Eclipse from a disabled account?
My current situation is as follows:
- I used to sign in as an Enterprise user, but this user account has been disabled (expired) now. I want to sign in as a different new Enterprise user, but I don't see a menu to sign out of the old user.
- When you start Eclipse, two dialog screens with "Please contact your enterprise admin to enable your managed account for Copilot Business" and " Failed to start pilot language server" appear.
- The Copilot icon in the lower right corner of the Eclipse screen does not appear; instead, a loading icon appears.
- Clicking on the Copilot menu at the top of the Eclipse screen shows nothing.
- I have already tried "eclipse.exe -clean".
- I have already tried uninstalling and re-installing Eclipse.
