Domain-specific languages (DSLs) are a powerful tool to capture arbitrary abstractions of an application domain and map it to code. Eclipse really shines when it comes to integrating DSLs in rich-client workbenches, but how about web-based IDEs?
In this talk you will learn how to bundle the power of four Eclipse frameworks to build a cloud-based IDE with support for your own DSLs:
Use Xtext to create a textual DSL with full IDE support from a simple grammar.
Generate an extensible server based on lsp4j to deliver the intellisense for your DSL to various IDEs based on the popular Language Server Protocol.
Leverage Sprotty to add live diagrams of the DSL models to the language server.
Embed the language server into a Theia extension and create a cloud-based IDE.
Everything is ready to use as open source at Eclipse.
