BRUSSELS, Belgium, July 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Eclipse Foundation, one of the world’s largest open source software foundations, has announced the release of Eclipse GLSP 1.0, a fully open source solution for building web-based diagram editors.
Eclipse GLSP is an extensible platform to develop diagramming solutions of all kinds. GLSP can be used in Eclipse Theia, in VS Code, in Eclipse desktop, or any kind of web application. Architecturally, Eclipse GLSP adopts the popular concept of language servers for diagram editors.
“Diagram solutions such as GEF and GMF have always been essential to the Eclipse ecosystem” said Mike Milinkovich, executive director of the Eclipse Foundation. “With the advancements made in Eclipse Theia, Che and other technologies, the Eclipse Foundation’s developer tools ecosystem is rapidly becoming more cloud-focused. We are thrilled to see Eclipse GLSP achieve this important milestone that fills an important gap in existing web-based tool and IDE offerings.”
Contributed to the Eclipse Foundation by EclipseSource in 2017, GLSP diagram editors have already become an integral part of web-based tool chains around the globe. Contributors and adopters span a broad variety of industries and applications, and include companies like AxonIvy, Logi.cals, OpenBPMN, and STMicroelectronics, in addition to EclipseSource. Eclipse GLSP is part of the Eclipse Cloud DevTools Working Group, an industry collaboration focused on delivering development tools for and in the cloud.
