History
Theia was developed by TypeFox and Ericsson, with additional contributions from Red Hat, IBM, Google and Arm Holdings.[5][6] It was first launched in March 2017.[7] Since May 2018, Theia has been a project of the Eclipse Foundation.[8]
About
Theia is built on the Language Server Protocol (LSP) and supports a variety of programming languages.[9] It can be used as a desktop application, a web application, or a hybrid application with separate front and back ends. All of Theia's features are implemented as extensions, which allows third-party developers to modify Theia's functionality by using the same application programming interfaces (APIs) as the application's default components.[10] Theia's layout consists of draggable docks.[10][11]
Theia is a free and open-source software project under the Eclipse Foundation and is licensed under the Eclipse Public License 2.0 (EPL2).[12]
Usage
Eclipse Che uses Eclipse Theia as its default IDE starting from version 7.[13] In September 2018, the online IDE Gitpod was released which is based on Theia.[14]
Reception
In January 2019, JAXenter(who?) ranked Theia as the third-most popular JavaScript integrated development environment of 2018 according to GitHub metrics, behind Visual Studio Code and Atom.[15]
