# Use the Snyk plugin to secure your Eclipse projects

Once the language server is downloaded and the authentication is completed, the plugin starts the workspace scan. You might notice a confirmation that a workspace scan is starting. Alternatively, you can trigger a workspace scan from your project's context menu, or from the Snyk View.

All of the issues found by Snyk are now integrated natively with Eclipse flows. Issues are shown in the **Problems** tab as shown in the following screenshot. There is a squiggly line indicating the issue while you code plus gutter icons to indicate where the issue is.
