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.
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.
Are you in the process of adopting Eclipse Theia as a platform for your next IDE or tool project? In this talk, we’ll share our technical experience from over 5 years as core maintainers of Theia and using it to deploy various internal projects. Join us and learn from our ideas, issues and successes!
Do you want to deploy and host a Theia-based tool to and in the cloud? This talk introduces Theia.cloud, a light-weight and Kubernetes-centric framework for deploying and running Theia-based IDEs and tools to and in the cloud.
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.
Eclipse Theia is an open-source framework to build powerful cloud and desktop IDE-like applications. The framework is an attractive solution for any company thanks to its extensibility, customizability, its well governed ecosystem and diverse community.
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.
Do you want to implement a web-based tool with more than “just” textual programming?Then learn about EMF.cloud, a rapidly growing ecosystem of components for developing domain-specific tools in web-based IDEs such as Eclipse Theia and VS Code.
Going from Java code to DSL & EMF generation enables us to scale our creation of domain specific tooling in ways that aren't possible with a code only approach—which is a good thing! But as we provide desktop applications, one must examine and address the deployment and maintenance questions. The truth is that desktop applications are not very good at solving these issues.
Do you have an existing Eclipse-based tool, application or plugin and wonder how to evolve it to web-based platforms such as Eclipse Theia or VS Code? In this talk, we will provide you with a guideline on how to approach and conduct this migration, while maximizing the reuse of your existing business logic and getting the most out of this exciting new technology stack!
