How to be an Eclipse Theia Adopter
summary
Practical adoption steps for building a web IDE on Theia: use the Yeoman generator to get a monorepo with browser and Electron products, declare features in a product config, mix Theia extensions vs VS Code extensions for power versus runtime installability, and prefer Playwright for end-to-end tests (Mocha/Jest for unit). Blueprint provides a desktop template today and a browser variant is planned. Monthly releases require frequent upgrades and the project maintains a collaborative migration guide.
