Leveraging Theia’s customizability for creating domain specific tools
summary
Theia is used as a customizable platform that integrates Xtext, Xtend, CDT, EMF, EMF.cloud model server, GLSP diagram editor, EMF Compare, D3 and JSON Forms to build domain-specific editors. The demo shows a form editor and diagram staying in sync via a shared model server, code generation into Java plus IDE debugging and breakpoints, a custom global toolbar and filtered UI to remove IDE chrome, and an alpha compare/merge view driven by EMF Compare-powered diff that opens and navigates exact model locations.
