Description

When I was working on version 3, I couldn't get my Eclipse development environment to work anymore. Since I hadn't used Eclipse in a few years, and the usage numbers were dropping, I decided to drop support for Eclipse.

If anyone would like to take on support for Eclipse, I could point out the changes that need to be made in the command line call to the space_tracer module, and where the documentation is for setting up Eclipse development.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore how existing editor integrations (e.g., PyCharm, Emacs) are implemented in the live py plugin codebase. Understand how the space tracer module is invoked from the command line and what changes are needed to support Eclipse. Look at the documentation for setting up Eclipse development and see if any prior version of Eclipse support exists in git history.
