Description

One thing that copilot in vscode does that copilot in Eclipse does not is restore the past chat history in the chat window on restart of the IDE. This is really convenient for reminding me of recent conversations with it. Is it possible for it to do this?

The issue does not name files or tests. Start by locating the Eclipse chat view's startup and shutdown handling, then trace how conversation history is currently held; done means recent chat history is restored in the chat window after restarting Eclipse.
