#How can i ask Codeium Chat to analyze a
placid gust
<@574566308910465044> could you provide guidance on the above questions.
Thank ...
Sorry, but I don't use Eclipse IDE. For this reason I cannot provide answers to these questions.
But, I know that in the chat you can ask questions with context, that is Codeium will understand your code base.
This is shown in this video ⤵️

Yes but to have a contextual conversation about a project so that we can understand about a new project we are working on, we can see that in the VSCode version of Codeium chat, but in Eclipse I don't see the project getting detected. We can see in the screenshot below, the functions, classes, repos are empty. I wanted to ask how to effectively use Codeium chat in Eclipse. Also, can you confirm if all the features of Codeium chat which are present in the VSCode version will also be incorporated into the Eclipse version and where can we know the timelines in terms of when will the Eclipse version of the Codeium plugin be made GA and released.
Please confirm, thank you.

If you edit a file, do functions show up in the @ mention menu?

@drifting moth For other projects it is doing but not for this particular project, it is not. Its actually showing functions from other classes, is there a project setup that I am missing? Is it possible to have a quick call where I can screen share and confirm?
Also, the Codeium chat keeps crashing, but loads upon reload, for this specific case it is showing no completions were generated
My understanding is that we need to be able to index files before we can ask Codeium questions about a codebase, so if we have a project in Eclipse, is there a way to manually ask Codium to read files from a project in the Eclipse workspace and then once that is done, then we should be able to ask questions on the project, correct? Please advise.

Codebase-wide indexing is unfortunately only available for VSCode and Jetbrains, though we are working on bringing to other IDEs
https://help.codeium.com/hc/en-us/articles/20761588339867-Activating-Codeium-Indexing
However, you should still be able to use @-mentions without codebase wide indexing. The issue is you have to first open and "touch" a file (ie. edit that file) before it knows to try to parse it for @ mentions

Ok thank you @drifting moth
I wanted to inform that Eclipse is also a very popular, important core IDE, especially for Java development and we appreciate Codeium's support in building a plugin for it. I have related follow-up questions.
- Is the Eclipse Codeium plugin actively being developed?
- Will the functionalities present in corresponding VSCode plugins be made available in the Eclipse Codeium plugin?
- When will the Eclipse plugin be made GA and approximate timelines for it, is there a Git URL where we can follow its development?
