Web

Make your transition to cloud-tooling now thanks to an hybrid RCP/web approach!

Attend this talk to discover what are the industrial solutions available today to create a web-ready modeling tool.

The tooling trends are to go to the web. The Eclipse community members are making lots of efforts to transition the existing modeling frameworks (EMF, Sirius, GLSP…) to be cloud ready. But this is still the beginning of the story preparing the foundation for the future of web-based tooling.

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.

JSON Forms 2.0

Maximilian Koegel (EclipseSource)

Recently, JSON Forms 2.0 was released and it represents a major milestone in improving the support for web-based UIs in the Eclipse EMF Forms project. EMF Forms continues to be one of the most active projects at Eclipse and JSON Forms is a component of EMF Forms to support creating web-based form UIs. It leverages JSON Schema as a data model and is built based on React and Redux.

Building Cloud and Desktop IDEs with Theia

Anton Kosyakov (TypeFox GmbH)

Alex Tugarev (TypeFox GmbH)

Eclipse Theia is the new star on the dev tools sky: with Theia, you can write your own IDE-like applications that run as desktop tools as well as in the browser. Theia is web-native, entirely written in Typescript, and offers a degree of customizability similar to Eclipse RCP. It is open source and backed by companies like TypeFox, Ericsson, RedHat, and IBM. Theia has already been selected as the new front-end technology for Eclipse Che.

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.

Modeling tools go up to the cloud…

Stephane Begaudeau (Obeo)

Pierre-Charles David (OBEO)

In this talk we will present our plan to move Eclipse Sirius to the web and the cloud. At Obeo, we have been working on modeling tools in general, and on Sirius in particular, for a long time now. Until now, Sirius has relied exclusively on the Eclipse Platform, and consequently the graphical modelers based on it are desktop applications. Today we are ready to work with you to bring graphical modeling tools up to the cloud.
