Enabling ABAP Perspective

[diro5t]

Hi,

there is a huge SAP dev community using Eclipse with ADT (ABAP Development Tools).
Coders use either SAP Joule or Github Codepilot for coding in ABAP. It would be amazong if local models, Gemini etc could be leveraged also not only from the Java but also from the ABAP perspective.

Again - thanks for the cool plug-in

Hi @diro5t,

interesting idea.

I assume this shouldn't be hard for basic interactions like the context menu entry and code completion.
When I have some time to spare I'll give it a shot.

Note to self: WTF. This is harder than expected. Can't even open an editor without having access to some SAP server.
I'll try to get a project up and running using that tutorial: https://github.com/SAP-samples/abap-platform-rap-opensap/blob/main/week1/unit5.md

Many thanks for the effort. There are a lot of developers out there, because ADT in Eclipse is the central IDE for modern ABAP development. Btw, are you on LinkedIn, X, Bluesky or whatever?

Any updates? Thanks

Sorry, kinda busy right now. I'm not on Twitter, LinkedIn or Bluesky btw.
