 # Eclipse plugin
 
-The Snyk Eclipse plugin provides analysis of your code, containers, and infrastructure as code configurations.
+## **Scan early, fix as you develop: elevate your security posture**
 
-Snyk scans for the following types of issues:
+Integrating security checks early in your development lifecycle helps you pass security reviews seamlessly and avoid expensive fixes down the line.
 
-* [**Open Source Security**](https://snyk.io/product/open-source-security-management/) - security vulnerabilities and license issues in both the direct and indirect (transitive) open-source dependencies pulled into the Snyk Project. See also the [`Open Source docs`](https://docs.snyk.io/products/snyk-open-source).
-* [**Code Security**](https://snyk.io/product/snyk-code/) - security vulnerabilities in your code. See also the [Snyk Code docs](https://docs.snyk.io/products/snyk-code).
-* [**Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Security**](https://snyk.io/product/infrastructure-as-code-security/) - configuration issues in your IaC templates: Terraform, Kubernetes, CloudFormation, and Azure Resource Manager. See also the [Snyk Infrastructure as Code docs](https://docs.snyk.io/products/snyk-infrastructure-as-code).
+The Snyk Eclipse extension allows you to analyze your code, open-source dependencies, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) configurations. With actionable insights directly in your IDE, you can address issues as they arise.
 
-The Eclipse plugin provides automated, algorithm-based fix suggestions for both direct and transitive dependencies. This single plugin provides a Java vulnerability scanner and an open-source security scanner.
+**Key features:**
 
-After you have installed and configured the Eclipse plugin, every time you run it, open a file, or autosave, Snyk scans the manifest files, proprietary code, and configuration files in your project (if not deactivated in the Snyk Settings). Snyk delivers actionable vulnerability, license, or misconfiguration issue details and displays the results natively within the Eclipse UI.
+* **In-line issue highlighting:** Security issues are flagged directly within your code, categorized by type and severity for quick identification and resolution.
+* **Comprehensive scanning:** The extension scans for a wide range of security issues, including:
+  * [**Open Source Security**](https://snyk.io/product/open-source-security-management/)**:** Detects vulnerabilities and license issues in both direct and transitive open-source dependencies. Automated fix suggestions simplify remediation. Explore more in the [Snyk Open Source documentation](https://docs.snyk.io/scan-using-snyk/snyk-open-source).
+  * [**Code Security**](https://snyk.io/product/snyk-code/)**:** Identifies security vulnerabilities in your custom code. Explore more in the [Snyk Code documentation](https://docs.snyk.io/scan-using-snyk/snyk-code).
+  * [**IaC Security**](https://snyk.io/product/infrastructure-as-code-security/)**:** Uncovers configuration issues in your Infrastructure as Code templates (Terraform, Kubernetes, CloudFormation, Azure Resource Manager). Explore more in the [IaC documentation](https://docs.snyk.io/scan-using-snyk/snyk-iac).
+* **Broad language and framework support:** Snyk Open Source and Snyk Code cover a wide array of package managers, programming languages, and frameworks, with ongoing updates to support the latest technologies. For the most up-to-date information on supported languages, package managers, and frameworks, see the [supported language technologies pages](https://docs.snyk.io/supported-languages-package-managers-and-frameworks).
 
-This page explains supported environments, support, and giving feedback and provides installation instructions. **After you complete the steps on this page**, you will continue by following the instructions in the other Eclipse plugins docs:

+Install the plugin at any time free of charge from the  [Eclipse marketplace](https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/snyk-security) and use it with any Snyk account, including the Free plan.&#x20;
 
 When you are prompted, accept the license agreement and add the **Snyk Security** certificate to complete the installation (this happens only once).
 
-Restart the Eclipse instance:
