Introduction
GitHub Copilot can help streamline the process of modernizing and upgrading your Java and .NET applications. Copilot will analyze the project, generate a plan, automatically fix issues it encounters when carrying out the plan, and produce a summary.

- The latest version of Visual Studio Code.
- For Maven-based projects, access to the public Maven Central repository.
- Installed versions of both the source and target JDKs.
