Re: [External] - RDi & GitHub Copilot?

I'm currently working with code4i and RDi. I try to do my work in code4i,
but I inevitably run into something that doesn't work and switch back to
RDi.

I'm just getting started with Copilot, but so far it's doing OK for RPG. I
quickly learned not to let it touch my code. It tends to put code in the
wrong place, and it struggles with END-XX statements. I use Ask mode and
copy and paste any results I want to use.


Thanks

Hi Justin,

From what I recall, you need 4.32 or higher to run that plugin.

You can download the latest Eclipse and add the plugin. I know it's not
best to run 2 instances of Eclipse/RDi but copy and paste should work fine.

I did some early testing with Bard but wasn't liking the RPG output. I
haven't tried GitHub CoPilot.
