Sprotty

Textual and Graphical Languages for the Cloud Era

Miro Spönemann (TypeFox GmbH)

You can build a cloud IDE with domain-specific textual and graphical languages – all with Eclipse technologies. Theia provides the IDE framework with text editor, Xtext and LSP4J form the language server, and Sprotty renders beautiful modern diagrams. This technology stack works well, but it also imposes a high maintenance effort because the two involved programming platforms, TypeScript and Java, are not directly compatible and depend on separate ecosystems for building and distributing modules.

Beyond LSP: Getting Your Language into Theia and VS Code

Jan Koehnlein (TypeFox GmbH)

If you want to a build custom programming language, the Eclipse ecosystem offers a complete toolstack to build a web-based IDE for it: Theia as the web-IDE framework, Xtext and lsp4j to implement a language server, Sprotty to add diagram support and many more.

Graphical Views for Web-Based Modeling Tools With Theia and Sprotty

Miro Spönemann (TypeFox GmbH)
Jan Koehnlein (TypeFox GmbH)

In this talk we will show how you can employ Eclipse Theia as application framework and Eclipse Sprotty as graphical framework to create a modeling tool. You will learn about the various considerations that have to be made when designing a user interface for interacting with models, and you will see what Theia and Sprotty are able to contribute in this regard.

Domain-Specific Languages in the Cloud – With Eclipse Technologies

Jan Koehnlein (TypeFox GmbH)
Miro Spönemann (TypeFox GmbH)

Domain-specific languages (DSLs) are a powerful tool to capture arbitrary abstractions of an application domain and map it to code. Eclipse really shines when it comes to integrating DSLs in rich-client workbenches, but how about web-based IDEs?

In this talk you will learn how to bundle the power of four Eclipse frameworks to build a cloud-based IDE with support for your own DSLs:
