CDT Cloud, Embedded SIG, Cloud Dev Tools, OpenVSX and how they all play together

Last year’s progress with respect to the Cloud Development Tools workgroup was an interesting one. We will explain how last year’s Cloud Dev Tools group and embedded SIG became the CDT Cloud Group, Cloud Dev Tools Group and OpenVSX group. This talk also aims to shed light on the goals of the workgroups. Where one would want to go when they wish to collaborate or even just have a question.

The Future is Soon: Migrating Trace Compass, or any plug-in to a VSCode Extension, for Theia!

Matthew Khouzam (Ericsson AB)

Eclipse Trace Compass, a trace and log visualizer that was part of eclipse in some form over the last 13 years, was originally an SWT based Eclipse application, and an Eclipse plug-in. Recently, it moved towards being an Eclipse Theia extension. This talk will put into perspective Ericsson's motivations to transition the front-end towards a VSCode extension. We will discuss the advantages, challenges, and opportunities that this entails.

The session will delve into the following:

How to host web-based tools in the cloud

Simon Graband (EclipseSource)

Johannes Faltermeier (EclipseSource)

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 important now as cloud clusters and microservices have gained prominence. But, 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.
