## Nateclipse
This Eclipse plugin improves your Java coding experience.
## Tabs
Better tabs:
* Removes the `.java` suffix so tabs are shorter.
* Removes the close button so tabs are shorter.
* Increases the number of characters for a tab to be truncated with a ellipsis to 100 so tabs are longer, but you can actually tell them apart.
## JDT HTTP API
Eclipse JDT functionality is exposed over HTTP (port 9001) so coding agents can use it.
A [pi](https://pi.dev) extension is included in `pi-extension/`. To install, copy or symlink it:
```
cp pi-extension/nateclipse.ts ~/.pi/agent/extensions/
```
Tools provided:
* `jdt_errors` check compilation errors/warnings (refreshes workspace, waits for build)
* `jdt_references` find all references to a type, method, or field (shows enclosing method)
* `jdt_hierarchy` subtypes, supertypes, or full hierarchy (optionally filtered to method overrides)
* `jdt_search_type` find types by name (supports `*` and `?`)
* `jdt_members` list fields and methods with signatures, modifiers, line numbers (includes inherited)
## Installation
Get the JAR from the [latest release](https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/Nateclipse/releases) and put it in your `Eclipse/dropins` folder.
