Description
Copilot for Eclipse offers bring your own key (BYOK) functionality. Many providers Like AWS offer AI-compatible keys, but these are not configurable yet in the plugin. This would bring the Eclipse plugin another step closer to feature parity with github.com, where this is already possible .
Without having looked at the code yet, making this work would probably only include adding an option to change the base URL since OpenAI-compatible keys follow the same request and response structure and authentication format as OpenAI's official API.
