This is a project to implement a very basic interface to interact between Eclipse and my other projects. The main goal is to invoke the content assist / code completion from eclipse, as well as extract data interactively for different kind of predictions and analysis.

This is just part of a proof-of-concept, and it will leak out the content of the file which is currently edited, to another endpoint. (e.g. a python based http server, or something similar, not sure about the sink)

This plugin is not intended for production. That said I'm not an expert on eclipse-plugins, therefore please do not copy bad habits I simply might not know about.

Maybe i will integrate it into a client-server-server architecture presenting a feed of the latest predictions made by a transformer-based model.

To further understand the architecture, you might want to have a look at the following diagram.
