Do you want to host a tool or IDE online in the cloud? Join this talk to jump start your cloud tool project with ease!

Modern tools and IDEs are often created based on web technologies. This enables deploying them not only as desktop applications, but also to run them in the cloud. This provides users access via a regular browser, so they can use the tool or custom IDE without any local installation from anywhere in the world just by following a link.

Embracing Remote Development for Local IDEs

Mark Sujew (TypeFox GmbH)

Working with remote systems has become an integral part of a software engineer's toolkit. For decades, IDEs have allowed us to start services on remote machines and connect to them for debugging, especially as cloud clusters and microservices have gained prominence. However, what if we could not only run our code remotely but also develop it on remote systems?

What's cooking in the TraceCompass.cloud project?

Bernd Hufmann (Ericsson AB)

Traditionally, trace analysis and visualization tools are strongly coupled with the format of the trace files of the traced system. These available tools in the industry are focused on specific trace formats and specialized use cases for their systems.

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.

The Evolution of an Open Source Project

Mark Sujew (TypeFox GmbH)

How open source projects change and evolve over time is usually opaque from the outside. Downstream users receive new versions but don't get to see what's going on behind the scenes. In this talk, we'll explore different aspects of software evolution in open source software.

Theia - more than just text

Maximilian Koegel (EclipseSource)

Theia is a platform for building IDEs and tools. Initially and quite naturally, it best supported textual editing for coding. However, now that Theia has matured and adoption is quickly growing, other use cases are gaining traction for Theia. One very important use case that was and is well supported with Eclipse RCP and EMF is building domain-specific modeling tools. These tools often show and edit structured data in trees, forms and diagrams and rely on model validation, analysis and simulation, model comparison and merging, code generation.
