Custom URL schemes: How to integrate them in your Eclipse based application

Matthias Becker (SAP SE)

Eclipse Platform 4.10 introduced “Link Handlers”. With that Eclipse platform can now handle custom URL schemes.
Handling of custom URL schemes in an application includes registering the application on operating system level. Link handlers take away all that operating system specific bourdon from you. You only need to implement you domain specific logic.

Streamlining contributions with Eclipse Theia

Paul Maréchal (Ericsson AB)

Web tools and cloud architectures are great but what does this actually change for developers?

Each contributor currently has to setup his local environment in order to actually contribute to a project. But how about configuring just a single environment for everyone in the cloud? What if your developers didn't even have to be using a specific local environment to work on a product? This is possible using a workspace server dispatching pre-configured containers to your teams, along with all the tools they need.

If, when and how? - Strategies towards web-based tooling

Maximilian Koegel (EclipseSource)

Jonas Helming (EclipseSource)

There is currently a big hype surrounding web-based tooling . New projects and frameworks are popping up and existing projects get more traction both in- and outside the Eclipse ecosystem, e.g. Eclipse Che, Eclipse Theia, Visual Studio Code, Atom, Eclipse Drigible, and Eclipse Orion. While the dissemination of web-based tools in the real world is still relatively low, almost every tool project will eventually deal with the question of how to migrate to a web-based platform.

Building a Web-IDE based on Eclipse Theia for Smart Home

Jonas Helming (EclipseSource)

This talk is an experience report on how to build a custom web-based IDE based on Eclipse Theia. We present a real-world example, that was recently implemented: an IDE to develop Smart Home applications. The tooling includes customized Java support via LSP, custom wizards, a form-based editor and code deployment. The talk will be focused on how to build web-based IDEs with Theia and no Smart Home knowledge is required to attend.

Build your own IoT cloud stack

Jens Reimann (Red Hat, Inc.)

Dejan Bosanac (Red Hat, Inc.)

Building your own IoT cloud stack isn’t a simple task, but we will kickstart your next IoT cloud project by setting up a full IoT cloud stack, dev-ops style, running on a Kubernetes based container platform.

We will bring an OpenShift cluster for you and guide you through the process of setting up a scalable messaging stack, Eclipse Hono, an IoT simulator, a payload consumer, Kafka, and a simple web frontend application. We will then add Eclipse Che for directly developing in the cloud, and start modifying the applications. Checking out what extension points this stack offers.
