Getting started with Theia The nextGen Eclipse Platform
summary
Eclipse Theia is a web-first platform that provides a modular extension mechanism, a basic workbench and reusable features like the Monaco code editor and file explorer, and it ships at ~200,000 lines of code by reusing standards. Products run in Electron or the browser with separate front end/back end, speak the Language Server and Debug Adapter protocols, and accept VS Code extensions. Start points include the Eclipse Theia blueprint and a Yeoman generator; detachable windows and white‑labeling are already implemented.
