Eclipse Che is a cloud IDE and a platform for creating cloud IDE extensions. Che ships with 55 extensions for Java, JavaScript, AngularJS, git, and Docker. Package your own Che extensions to create beautiful, cross-browser developer tooling.
Che contains:
- A cloud IDE
- A set of extensions for many programming languages, source code systems, builders and runners
- A kernel for loading extensions authored as plug-ins
- Developer tooling for building and and assembling plug-ins to create new IDEs
- A set of platform APIs for developer microservices (e.g., 'build project' or 'search worskpace')
- A CLI for interacting with platform APIs
- An Eclipse plug-in for editing, building and running Che projects from within Eclipse
The IDE is a browser application that is generated by compiling extensions into JavaScript. Extensions can invoke server-side APIs that run within the Che kernel. The kernel is a servlet-based framework that loads and manages extensions. The kernel can be run in any servlet container with a default bundling of Tomcat.
Che can be installed on any operating system that supports Java 1.7 - desktop, server or cloud, and Maven 3.0.5 or higher. It has been tested on Ubuntu, Linux, MacOS and Windows. Java, GWT, GIN and Javascript are the core technologies used to build Che.
Che is open sourced under the Eclipse Public License 1.0.
git clone https://github.com/codenvy/che.git
cd ..\che
git checkout 3.8.1We advise against building the master branch as you may encounter intermediate errors.
This builds the SDK, which includes an assembly of Java and extension building plug-ins. If you want to build Che with all known plug-ins, build [github.com/codenvy/assembly-che] (https://github.com/codenvy/assembly-che).
cd /che
mvn clean install
./che.sh [ start | stop ]Che will be available at localhost:8080

This plugin requires npm, Yeoman, bower and Grunt to be installed.
-
npm setup guide : https://github.com/npm/npm npm is bundled with nodejs which can be downloaded from: http://nodejs.org/download/
-
Yeoman (and bower / Grunt dependencies can be installed with: npm install -g yo) more details on http://yeoman.io/gettingstarted.html
-
Create, build and compile a Che extension into a Java JAR file. [Tutorial is here] (http://docs.codenvy.com/che/). You can create extension JARs within Che or your favorite IDE. Build extensions in Eclipse gives you super dev mode for Eclipse, which makes incremental compilation fast.
-
Copy the extension's JAR file to
/assembly-sdk/target/tomcat-ide/extdirectory of Che. -
Execute
$ ./extInstall.shscript. Che will be re-compiled with your extension. This will take a few minutes. -
Restart Che.
