Diagram Editors Boosted: Collaborative, Testable and Accessible diagrams with Eclipse GLSP
summary
Eclipse GLSP 2.0 ships a concrete set of implementable features: a Playwright-based page object model that runs end‑to‑end tests against the SVG UI and reuses the same tests across VS Code, Theia and standalone, keyboard-first interaction with keyboard-first navigation and pallet controls for full mouse-free editing, and a VS Code Live Share integration that creates peer‑to‑peer encrypted sessions with per-user command stacks so edits sync in real time without a central model server; many items are marked experimental but demos show creation, rename, edge creation and undo/redo working end-to-end.
