AI Coder for Eclipse ADT-ABAP (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot Models)- Lite

AXLR8 Lite adds a focused AI chat panel to Eclipse for SAP ABAP developers — free and open source under Apache 2.0.

Unlike generic AI chat, AXLR8 Lite is ABAP-aware: it reads the file you're editing, respects which SAP release you target (classic EHP8 vs modern S/4HANA), and steers the AI away from features your system can't run.

What it does
- Chat with two AI providers, no API bill:
 - Claude Code — uses your existing Claude Pro/Max subscription via the local Claude CLI (no API key).
 - GitHub Models — uses a GitHub Personal Access Token (free for GitHub Copilot subscribers); choose from OpenAI, Meta Llama, Mistral, DeepSeek, xAI Grok, Cohere and more.
- Reads your active editor — ask "does this code need improvement?" and the AI sees the actual ABAP open in front of you (whole file, or just your selection).
- SAP-release aware — a simple S/4HANA / EHP8 toggle tunes the AI: on EHP8 it avoids RAP, CDS view entities, utclong, and other 7.54+ features; on S/4HANA it embraces them.
- Apply to Editor / Copy Code — drop the AI's suggested ABAP straight into your editor, or copy the code block to the clipboard.
- Expand view — pop the conversation into a large window with proper markdown rendering (headings, tables, syntax-highlighted code).
- Multi-turn memory — your conversation is preserved across the session and remembered when you reopen the view.
