What it does

Eclipse Edit is an agent skill from gradusnikov/eclipse-chatgpt-plugin. Edit files in Eclipse projects using MCP tools. Use this when modifying code in Eclipse workspace projects — it keeps Eclipse editors in sync, triggers incremental compilation, and provides undo via local history.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol and Java. The repository describes itself as: Eclipse IDE as an MCP Server for AI Agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Incremental compilation
  • Provides undo via local history

Example prompts

  • “/eclipse-edit”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): mcp__eclipse-coder__applyPatch, mcp__eclipse-coder__replaceString, mcp__eclipse-coder__insertIntoFile, mcp__eclipse-coder__createFile, mcp__eclipse-coder__deleteFile, mcp__eclipse-coder__deleteLinesInFile, mcp__eclipse-coder__replaceFileContent, mcp__eclipse-coder__formatFile, mcp__eclipse-coder__organizeImports, mcp__eclipse-coder__organizeImportsInPackage, mcp__eclipse-coder__undoEdit, mcp__eclipse-coder__renameFile, mcp__eclipse-coder__createDirectories, mcp__eclipse-coder__moveResource, mcp__eclipse-coder__refactorRenameJavaType, mcp__eclipse-coder__refactorMoveJavaType, mcp__eclipse-coder__refactorRenamePackage, mcp__eclipse-ide__getCompilationErrors, mcp__eclipse-ide__getProjectLayout, mcp__eclipse-ide__readProjectResource, mcp__eclipse-ide__getClassOutline, mcp__eclipse-ide__getMethodSource, mcp__eclipse-ide__getFilteredSource, mcp__eclipse-ide__getSource

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read efficiently — Don't dump entire files
  2. Edit using the appropriate tool (see above)
  3. Verify with getCompilationErrors to check for problems
  4. Clean up with organizeImports if new types were referenced, formatFile for conventions

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b789344. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • mcp__eclipse-coder__applyPatch
    • mcp__eclipse-coder__replaceString
    • mcp__eclipse-coder__insertIntoFile
    • mcp__eclipse-coder__createFile
    • mcp__eclipse-coder__deleteFile
    • mcp__eclipse-coder__deleteLinesInFile
    • mcp__eclipse-coder__replaceFileContent
    • mcp__eclipse-coder__formatFile
    • mcp__eclipse-coder__organizeImports
    • mcp__eclipse-coder__organizeImportsInPackage

    …and 14 more on the same allowed-tools line.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Eclipse Edit loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 408 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Eclipse Code Editing

Edit files in Eclipse workspace projects using the eclipse-coder MCP tools. These tools keep Eclipse editors synchronized, trigger incremental compilation, and maintain local history for undo.

Available Editing Tools

  • applyPatch — Atomically apply a unified diff after validating every hunk. It supports multiple hunks and fuzzy context matching, preserves the file's line delimiter, creates an undoEdit backup, and can show Eclipse's Apply Patch wizard with showDialog=true.
  • replaceString — Find and replace exact string. Good for single targeted changes. Optionally scoped to a line range.
  • insertIntoFile — Insert content before a specific line (1-based).
  • createFile — Create a new file and open it in the editor.
  • deleteFile — Delete a file from the project.
  • deleteLinesInFile — Delete a range of lines (1-based, inclusive).
  • replaceFileContent — Replace entire file content.
  • formatFile — Format a Java file using Eclipse's formatter (Ctrl+Shift+F).
  • organizeImports — Organize imports in a Java file (Ctrl+Shift+O).
  • organizeImportsInPackage — Organize imports across all files in a package.
  • undoEdit — Restore a file from Eclipse's local history.

Direct file edits return only after Eclipse has synchronized the saved resource, workspace notifications, cached content, JDT compilation unit (for Java files), and editor selection. Check the Workspace state line in the result for saved, cache/JDT state, and the final modification stamp.

Refactoring Tools

For Java files, prefer refactoring tools over manual rename/move — they update all references:

  • refactorRenameJavaType — Rename class/interface/enum with workspace-wide reference updates.
  • refactorMoveJavaType — Move type to different package with reference updates.
  • refactorRenamePackage — Rename package with all declaration and reference updates.
  • moveResource — Move file/folder (no reference updates — use refactorMoveJavaType for Java).

Workflow

  1. Read efficiently — Don't dump entire files:
    • getClassOutline → understand class structure (~30 lines vs ~300)
    • getMethodSource → read only the methods you need to edit
    • getFilteredSource → full source with non-relevant methods collapsed
    • readProjectResource with excludeImports=true → skip import noise
    • Reserve getSource / full readProjectResource for small files
  2. Edit using the appropriate tool (see above)
  3. Verify with getCompilationErrors to check for problems
  4. Clean up with organizeImports if new types were referenced, formatFile for conventions

Tips

  • For multi-hunk changes, prefer applyPatch over multiple replaceString calls
  • replaceString requires exact whitespace matching — if it fails, try applyPatch instead
  • All tools require projectName (Eclipse project name) and filePath (relative to project root, without project name)
  • Editing tools open/refresh the affected file and reveal the edited line; multi-file refactorings reveal the primary or first changed file
  • Use getProjectLayout with scopePath and maxDepth to navigate large projects
  • Line numbers from getClassOutline, getMethodSource, and getFilteredSource are always accurate for replaceString line ranges and applyPatch hunks
