Re: [eclipse-dev] eclipse sdk v5 ❤

* an IDE that AI assistants can easily integrate into. major LLM SDKs build first class integrations for other IDEs. AI assisted development is the new baseline and when we don't have a credible AI story.  developers switch IDEs and do not return. and we can't do modern AI integration cleanly onto a 20 year old plugin architecture. This requires breaking changes with a major version.

two naive thoughts:

First, if the 20 year old plugin architecture is a road block, perhaps what you are looking for is not Eclipse v5, but an entirely new IDE. Or can you rip out the core design from an entire ecosystem and replace it with a new design while keeping everybody on board?

Second, at some point when AI is fully integrated, does anybody still need the classical IDE features? Now? In 5 years? (Read: does anybody still need *us*?)

I'll stick to what we have (and happily without AI in my case).
