The Busy RCP Developer’s Guide to Eclipse Theia
summary
Eclipse Theia is a web-first IDE framework that runs in the browser or via Electron on desktop and already integrates the language server protocol and recently the debug adapter protocol so editors use the same monaco text widget with TextMate highlights. Frontend and backend communicate via JSON-RPC over WebSocket, each side using its own dependency-injection container (inversify). Extensions are NPM packages (no lazy-loading at module level), and a VS Code–style plugin host runs plugins in isolated processes so a crashed plugin can be restarted.
