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

The Eclipse Theia Platform is a free and open-source framework for building IDEs and tools based on web technologies.[2] Theia-based applications can be deployed as desktop and web applications.[3] It is implemented in TypeScript, reuses parts of Visual Studio Code, and emphasizes extensibility.[4][5][6] It provides support for building tools and IDEs with artificial intelligence capabilities under the Thea AI name.[7]

The Eclipse Theia IDE is an IDE for desktop devices and the cloud based on the Theia platform.[8] It features a highly customizable developer experience similar to that of Visual Studio Code and uses Thea AI to support AI features.[9][10]

History

[edit]

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.[11][12] It was first launched in March 2017.[13] Since May 2018, Theia has been a project of the Eclipse Foundation.[14] Eclipse Theia is now considered to be the next generation Eclipse Platform for tools and IDEs.[15]

About

[edit]

Theia is built on the Language Server Protocol (LSP) and supports a variety of programming languages.[16] 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.[17] Theia's layout consists of draggable docks.[17][18] Theia is compatible with Visual Studio Code extensions.[19]

Theia is a free and open-source software project under the Eclipse Foundation and is licensed under the Eclipse Public License 2.0 (EPL2).[20]

Usage

[edit]

Eclipse Che uses Eclipse Theia as its default IDE starting from version 7.[21]

In September 2018, the online IDE Gitpod was released which was based on Theia.[22] (In 2021, Gitpod switched to Visual Studio Code.[23])

Arduino IDE 2.0 is based on Eclipse Theia, replacing the Processing-based IDE.[24]

Reception

[edit]

In January 2019, JAXenter, a website and blog about coding,[25] ranked Theia as the third-most popular JavaScript integrated development environment of 2018 according to GitHub metrics, behind Visual Studio Code and Atom.[26]
