Eclipse Theia is an Eclipse open source project providing the Theia Platform and the Theia IDE.

Contents

The Eclipse Theia Platform is a free and open-source framework for building IDEs and tools based on web technologies. [3] Theia-based applications can be deployed as desktop and web applications. [4] It is implemented in TypeScript and emphasizes extensibility. [5] [6] [7] With Theia AI, the platform provides explicit support for building tools and IDEs with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. [8]

The Eclipse Theia IDE is an IDE for desktop devices and the cloud based on the Theia platform. [9] It features a highly customizable developer experience and uses Theia AI to support AI features. [10] [11]

While Eclipse Theia incorporates certain components from Visual Studio Code, such as the Monaco editor, it is independently developed with a modular architecture and is not a fork of VS Code. [12] [13]

History

Theia was originally developed by TypeFox and Ericsson, and continually receives contributions from EclipseSource, Red Hat, IBM, Google, Arm Holdings as well as from individual contributors. [14] [15] It was first launched in March 2017. [16] Since May 2018, Theia has been a project of the Eclipse Foundation. [17] Eclipse Theia is now considered to be the next generation Eclipse Platform for tools and IDEs. [18]

About

Theia is built on the Language Server Protocol (LSP) and supports a variety of programming languages. [19] It can be used as a desktop application, a web application, or a hybrid application with separate front and back ends. All of Theia's features are implemented as extensions, which allows third-party developers to modify Theia's functionality by using the same application programming interfaces (APIs) as the application's default components. [20] Theia's layout consists of draggable docks. [20] [21] Theia is compatible with Visual Studio Code extensions. [22]

Theia is a free and open-source software project under the Eclipse Foundation and is licensed under the Eclipse Public License 2.0 (EPL2). [23]

Usage

Reception

In January 2019, JAXenter, a website and blog about coding, [37] ranked Theia as the third-most popular JavaScript integrated development environment of 2018 according to GitHub metrics, behind Visual Studio Code and Atom. [38]

An integrated development environment (IDE) is a software application that provides comprehensive facilities for software development. An IDE normally consists of at least a source-code editor, build automation tools, and a debugger. Some IDEs, such as IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse and Lazarus contain the necessary compiler, interpreter or both; others, such as SharpDevelop and NetBeans, do not.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">NetBeans</span> Integrated development environment software for software development

NetBeans is an integrated development environment (IDE) for Java. NetBeans allows applications to be developed from a set of modular software components called modules. NetBeans runs on Windows, macOS, Linux and Solaris. In addition to Java development, it has extensions for other languages like PHP, C, C++, HTML5, and JavaScript. Applications based on NetBeans, including the NetBeans IDE, can be extended by third party developers.

Eclipse is written mostly in Java and its primary use is for developing Java applications, but it may also be used to develop applications in other programming languages via plug-ins, including Ada, ABAP, C, C++, C#, Clojure, COBOL, D, Erlang, Fortran, Groovy, Haskell, HLASM, JavaScript, Julia, Lasso, Lua, NATURAL, Perl, PHP, PL/I, Prolog, Python, R, Rexx, Ruby, Rust, Scala, and Scheme. It can also be used to develop documents with LaTeX and packages for the software Mathematica. Development environments include the Eclipse Java development tools (JDT) for Java and Scala, Eclipse CDT for C/C++, and Eclipse PDT for PHP, among others.

An online integrated development environment, also known as a web IDE or cloud IDE, is an integrated development environment that can be accessed from a web browser. Online IDEs can be used without downloads or installation, instead operating fully within modern web browsers such as Firefox, Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. Online IDEs can enable software development on low-powered devices that are normally unsuitable. An online IDE does not usually contain all of the same features as a traditional desktop IDE, only basic IDE features such as a source-code editor with syntax highlighting. Integrated version control and Read–Eval–Print Loop (REPL) may also be included.
