Eclipse Che

Eclipse Che is an open-source project under the Eclipse Top-Level Project. It is named after the city of Cherkasy in Ukraine, where its development began. Eclipse Che introduces a novel workspace concept composed of projects and runtimes, making their state distributable, portable, and versionable. By leveraging containers and web services, it brings reproducibility, consistency, and performance to workspaces. It is a browser-based IDE that supports any framework or programming language. With workspace portability and cloud export capabilities, you can take your projects and runtimes anywhere. The Che server manages the lifecycle of workspaces and can be customized with plugins. Any client can communicate with the workspace server and any generated workspaces. A workspace is an isolated, personal space for developers to work in. Whether developers access the workspace via API, browser, CLI, or SSH, their projects remain synchronized and consistent. Plugins can inject services into workspaces based on project types, ensuring each workspace is tailored to the projects it manages. Che is used by major organizations like Red Hat, Samsung, and SAP, as well as millions of individual developers.
