The document discusses Orion, an open source project from the Eclipse Foundation that aims to reimagine software development tools by making them web-based. Orion provides a browser-based IDE and allows plugins to extend its functionality. It discusses how Orion is modular and extensible by design to encourage innovation and works across different platforms. The presentation demonstrates Orion's capabilities and explains its goals of bringing desktop IDE tools to the cloud while still supporting compiled languages like Java.

- 3. Platform & Modularity Run-time Plug-insPlatform New Plug-ins are First Class Citizens – same footing for everyone Open API and commercially friendly licensing – Low barriers to Entry Ease of Integration and Extensibility Spurs Innovation Competition can take place on implementations – users decide winners 28 May 2014 3Copyright (c) 2014, Eclipse Foundation, Inc.

- 5. Lessons Learned • The Good – Think platform – Ecosystems win – Modularity and extensibility are vital • The Bad – The desktop is the point of integration • The Ugly – Overwhelming complexity 28 May 2014 Copyright (c) 2014, Eclipse Foundation, Inc.

- 17. Why and What is Orion? • Initiated a little over 3 years ago • A change from other Eclipse projects • A shift to Web based application delivery • The Web is the Platform • Complex IDEs replaced by Web workflows 28 May 2014 Copyright (c) 2014, Eclipse Foundation, Inc. Made available under the Eclipse Public License 1.0 17
- 18. Do Developers Want to Move to the Cloud? • Progression to Cloud based tools • GitHub - dramatic shift in expectations • Code Analytics like Ohloh • Platform as a Service offerings all Cloud based How was your last IDE setup experience? 28 May 2014 Copyright (c) 2014, Eclipse Foundation, Inc. Made available under the Eclipse Public License 1.0 18
- 19. How Can we Get Them to Want to Move? • Follow a set of design principles, be agile • Embrace the modern browser • Create a platform that’s extensible • Create components that are consumable • Enable cross-site workflows & integration • Create a tool suite that does what is needed 28 May 2014 Copyright (c) 2014, Eclipse Foundation, Inc. Made available under the Eclipse Public License 1.0 19
- 20. What is modularity in the Web? “plugins” live right in your browser page Agnostic to where the plugin or code came from Plug-in Plug-in Web Server Web Server Web Server Web Client 28 May 2014 Copyright (c) 2014, Eclipse Foundation, Inc. Made available under the Eclipse Public License 1.0 20
- 21. Example: JSBeautify (JavaScript prettyprint) plugin You provide html, javascript elements, from your web site 28 May 2014 Copyright (c) 2014, Eclipse Foundation, Inc. Made available under the Eclipse Public License 1.0 21
- 22. Orion Pages and Plugins • Orion provides many pages by default • Provides necessary functionality for developers • Go from creating, editing, self hosting to deployment and source code control • Extensibility is what sets Orion apart 28 May 2014 Copyright (c) 2014, Eclipse Foundation, Inc. Made available under the Eclipse Public License 1.0 22

- 24. The Web is International, and so is Orion i18N built in the core, the UI and in the plug-ins Text editor capable of both Double Byte and Bidi Fully accessible Plugin for Externalizing strings to bundles 28 May 2014 Copyright (c) 2014, Eclipse Foundation, Inc. Made available under the Eclipse Public License 1.0 24
- 25. Two sources of an Orion Server Multi-user Equinox based Java Server Great for reusing existing Eclipse plugins and exposing them RESTfully to an Orion client Node.js based single user NPM install Very portable and great performance Deploy anywhere Node is installed Also works on embedded boards like the Raspberry Pi 28 May 2014 Copyright (c) 2014, Eclipse Foundation, Inc.
