I have also worked with https://www.makini.io/integrations/eclipse from Makini, so I can explain a little. In general, integrating this API should not be something complicated if you follow certain steps. First, you will need to make sure that you have an up-to-date version of Eclipse installed, as this may affect compatibility with the API. If you already have a project, then after installing the Makini plugin for Eclipse, you will need to add the API itself as a library to the project. Next, a very important point: Makini's Eclipse API does not require rewriting the entire project, you can integrate it into the current architecture, but you should be prepared for the fact that you will have to slightly adapt the code to the features of this API. This may be due to the fact that some Makini API methods have slightly different logic or ways of interacting with data than what you are used to using. I recommend carefully studying the examples in the documentation. They can give useful hints on how exactly to connect the API to the project. I personally encountered minor issues at the authentication stage, as Makini uses its own authorization mechanism, which is different from the standard OAuth, which can be a bit confusing if you have worked with this protocol before. By the way, I advise you to carefully monitor all requests to the server during testing, as some errors may be related to incorrectly configured request headers.

In general, as you said, connecting the Eclipse API is not that difficult if you follow the recommendations. But I had performance issues at the first stage of integration, as the application began to slow down significantly under high loads. This was due to the fact that I did not optimize the requests to the server, but used them in their basic form. So you definitely need to pay attention to how the requests are organized and to what extent they are processed.
