Add Copilot coding agent instructions
Configures GitHub Copilot coding agent for this repository by providing project context and conventions.
Changes
Created .github/copilot-instructions.md with:
- Build system: Maven 3.9.11 + Tycho, JDK 21, multi-module project structure
- Project layout: Core modules (build, chart, core, data, engine, model, UI, viewer, xtab) and their purposes
- Code standards: Eclipse Public License 2.0 header format, Eclipse Java conventions
- Contribution requirements: Eclipse Contributor Agreement (ECA) mandate
- Runtime constraints: Tomcat 9.0.7*-9.0.10*, JVM argument
-add-opens=java.base/java.net=ALL-UNNAMED - Development workflow: Build commands, test locations, backward compatibility expectations
This enables the agent to understand BIRT's Eclipse platform integration, complex Tycho build system, and multi-module architecture when working on issues.

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:
gh.io
- Triggering command:
/usr/bin/curl curl -s REDACTED(dns block)If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:
- Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
- Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
