GitHub Copilot evaluation and ChangeReview for Eclipse announced

New developments in AI-assisted coding tools focus on evaluation and code review. GitHub Copilot in VS Code requires specialized evaluation frameworks because its environment differs significantly from CLI-based agents. Automating VS Code for these evaluations presents challenges, as frequent updates to the IDE can break automation tools like Playwright.

Additionally, Genuitec has introduced ChangeReview for Eclipse in early access. This free plugin is designed to help developers manage rapid code changes made by AI agents. It provides real-time inline diffs, allowing users to accept, discard, or revert edits before they reach Git. The tool currently features specific support for tracking changes made by the GitHub Copilot for Eclipse plugin.
