Eclipse deprecation question

Apparently we won’t be able to download the monkey c plugin for eclipse anymore after late august. As someone working on an old computer I’m wondering if after that point this means in order to set up a new eclipse monkey c environment on a new computer we’d have to copy over the plug-in from our files on an old computer if we wish to continue to use it? Is this correct? I know we’re supposed to move to vs code but I’ve found it painful to use.

One of these days eclipse and CIQ will likely break all together -maybe the next SDK. Use this time to get used to VS Code. Eclipse isn't coming back

The way I set things up initially was I had my eclipse workspace, and would "add folder to workspace" io add an app n VS code, so both eclipse and VS code were using the same files. That made it really easy to switch back to eclipse if I was having an issue doing something in vs code, or eclipse was doing something funky.

That said, I've only used vs code since early this year, and when I set up a new laptop, didn't even install eclipse. (I do still have it on my desktop)

when you set it up on your new laptop how did you open previous projects (assuming you did) without triggering the safe mode (which despite editing the settings wouldn’t let me turn off when I tried it)

I copied over the apps as well as the vs code workspace. I think I got the message when I first opened the workspace on my lap top, but was able to say I truested the file and haven't seen the warning since.

I never got that message, it just switched to safe mode. I wonder if it’s because I tried to create a new folder and then attempted to open the project within.

Ok, so I reinstalled vscode and went through the welcome get started process, I think I may have skipped that part last time because I got the message do you wish to trust x folder and it did, here’s hoping nothing goes wrong. On another note is there anything I should be aware of that a MonkeyC project in vscode should have that it doesn’t require in eclipse?
