Success stories of open source collaboration in the Eclipse Cloud Dev Tools ecosystem
summary
Eclipse Cloud Dev Tools shows concrete wins: the Theia VS Code API train closes a two‑to‑three year gap to one month behind by creating diffs, tagged issues and shared work (contributors include Red Hat, STMicro, TypeFox, Ericsson, Arm); a special interest group turns into CDT Cloud blueprint with Trace Compass, GDB debug adapters and active monthly calls and contributors; marketing efforts add a downloadable IDE, an online demo and a quarterly community release cadence that doubles adopters and improves compatibility.
