Show the world the projects you're working on!

Discord Rich Presence for Eclipse IDE is a plug-in that uses Rich Presence in order to display information related to your current work in Discord.

Main Features:

A 'Workbench early startup error' occurs since the plug-in is installed

In case you encounter the following error on startup:

An internal error occurred during: "Workbench early startup".

There is an incompatible JNA native library installed on this system
Expected: 5.1.0
Found: 4.0.1

modify the eclipse.ini file (located next to eclipse.exe) to set the jna.nosys property to true:

-vmargs
-Djna.nosys=true

ℹ️ The -vmargs line should already exist, otherwise you can append it at the end of the file.
