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.[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 artifical 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]
