Red Hat Summit: An introduction to OpenShift.io

By Doug Tidwell May 10, 2018May 10, 2018

Red Hat OpenShift.io is an innovative online service for development teams. Installing and configuring IDEs, libraries, and various tools is a major time sink. OpenShift.io is a cloud-native set of zero-install tools for editing and debugging code, agile planning, and managing CI/CD pipelines. It also features package analytics (an unbelievably cool feature we’ll discuss more in a minute), and has various quick starts for common frameworks. Because everyone on the team uses the exact same tools, “It works on my machine” becomes a thing of the past.

Product Manager Todd Mancini started the session with a brief overview of the product. There’s so much more here than just the ability to develop code online. Today’s best practices include complex deployment pipelines. With OpenShift.io, you get a Maven repository and a Jenkins pipeline automatically. You can select from several pipeline templates. If you need an approval stage, for example, that’s built in to the product. In short, all the tools you need to create a virtuous circle of analyze, plan, and create are here, with no installation or configuration needed.

From Localhost to the Cloud: Helping Organizations Develop Applications in a Hybrid World

By Harry Mower May 9, 2018November 15, 2018

For many developers, desktop tools are where they spend most of their time and feel most comfortable. We also recognize that developers are looking for new ways to build applications and new tools that are designed for these technologies. Developers are now using the cloud to host and manage their developer environment, and we see the tools that developers use moving to the cloud as well.

In the past year, we have taken steps to broaden our portfolio of developer tools. We acquired Codenvy to provide unique container-native offerings for our users, and we have been building Red Hat OpenShift.io, our SaaS offering for cloud-native development.

Today, we are announcing two more leaps toward a container- and cloud-native future:

Eclipse Che’s Plans for 2018

By Stevan LeMeur May 3, 2018September 3, 2019

2018 has been a busy year already, and we’re not even halfway through. Eclipse Che 6 brought team and enterprise features including multi-user and multi-tenancy as well as a large number of other great capabilities (you can read all about it in our Che 6 release post).

We followed Che 6 GA with already 4 minor releases and the community worked hard in order to add even more capabilities:

Helm chart for Kubernetes deployment
C/C++ intellisense with integration of ClangD
Recover capabilities for OpenShift/Kubernetes
And almost 150 bug fixes

Red Hat Summit Spotlight: Getting Started with Cloud-Native Apps Lab

By Siamak Sadeghianfar April 27, 2018September 3, 2019

Cloud-native application development is the new paradigm for building applications and although is it often mistaken for microservices, it is much more than that and encompasses not only the application architecture but also the process through which applications are built, deployed, and managed.

New apps are often seen as the focus of cloud-native applications; however, we believe existing and new applications are alike and can incorporate cloud-native practices if they have the four defining characteristics of cloud-native applications:

Service-based: Build modular loosely coupled services (for example, microservices).
API-driven: Expose services via lightweight technology-agnostic APIs.
Containers: Package and deploy in containers as a portable unit of compute.
DevOps: Adopt agile and DevOps principles.

The Getting Started with Cloud-Native Apps lab at Red Hat Summit 2018, which takes place in San Francisco on May 8–10, has a packed agenda that focuses on walking participants through the principles of building and operating cloud-native applications.

Apache Camel URI completion in VS Code XML Editor and Eclipse Che

By Aurélien Pupier February 15, 2018February 14, 2018

Apache Camel empowers you to define routing and mediation rules in a variety of domain-specific languages, including a Java-based Fluent API, Spring or Blueprint XML Configuration files, and a Scala DSL. It also uses URIs to work directly with any kind of Transport or messaging model such as HTTP, ActiveMQ, JMS, JBI, SCA, MINA or CXF, as well as pluggable Components and Data Format options. Apache Camel is a small library with minimal dependencies for easy embedding in any Java application.

Announcing Developer Tool Updates: DevSuite, DevStudio, CDK, more

By Mike Guerette January 30, 2018November 15, 2018

I’m extremely pleased to announce additions and updates to our Red Hat Development Suite of products, including Container Development Kit 3.3, JBoss Developer Studio 11.2, and our DevSuite 2.2 installer. These updates are a continuation of our efforts to increase developer usability, while adding new features that matter most for targeting Red Hat platforms.

Red Hat Development Suite is a curated, integrated set of desktop tools especially suited for developing Linux container-based microservices that can be deployed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, OpenShift Container Platform, and other Red Hat platforms. In addition to the components listed above, it also enables easy installation of JBoss Enterprise Application Platform, JBoss Fuse and Kompose (tech preview), as well as numerous complementary pieces required to get an integrated development platform configured and running on your desktop. It combines these components in an easy-to-use installer to make setup simple for Windows, macOS and RHEL.

Red Hat & Eclipse Che

By Pete Muir June 27, 2016

During the DevNation General Session today we talked about how we need to rethink some of the basic concepts of software development. We think it’s essential to make developers more effective and get started quickly. Rethinking what and how developers write and debug their code (what we normally call the “IDE”) is central to that.

Today, during the DevNation keynote, Red Hat announced that it is making a strategic investment in Eclipse Che. In this blog post I’ll talk about why, and also where we are starting to contribute.

One of the things that has struck me, that I realized as I’ve worked with Che over the last nine months, is that I had forgotten what the acronym “IDE” stands for — Integrated Development Environment. As I spent more time with Che, I realized that most IDEs and coding tools I used to date have focused heavily on source code (editing, compiling, building, visualizing) and have ignored the environment part — you nearly always have to follow a README to get the application running.

Che has fundamentally rethought the whole development experience, and put source code and environments on an equal level. At Red Hat we feel that Eclipse Che is fundamentally changing the very approach many of us take towards developing software. We think that the notion of a universal workspace is incredibly liberating for developers.

A common interface for building developer tools

By Gorkem Ercan June 27, 2016September 3, 2019

“There is already a command line for it, why can’t my favorite editor support this language?” As a developer, you’re probably familiar with this sentiment, and in reality there has never been a better time to be a software developer.

Developers have access to a growing list of languages, frameworks, libraries, and technologies that can help them solve the problems they are tasked to tackle. However, the abundance of choices often hinders the ability of Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) and code editors to support such an abundance of choice. As a result, developers often choose to use multiple IDEs and editors for building their solutions, in order to get access to best IDE support.

IDEs are frequently architected to have direct access to the tools related to the technology for which they were designed — for programming languages this often means that IDE has access to parsers, compilers and an in memory presentation of the developed code usually in the form of an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). This approach also means that IDE developers need to create and maintain these tools.

As an example, Eclipse Java Development Tools (JDT) project provides a compiler for Java and a Java editor which in turn uses the AST generated to implement features like code assist, outlines, refactoring, etc.

Another approach is to define an API that the IDE will invoke to provide language features. In this architecture, the IDE has no real knowledge of the programming language and instead relies on the implementations of the interface.

We think this approach has a couple of advantages: first, it allows the interfaces to be implemented by the communities that create the technology, and so know it best; second, it frees up IDE developers for what they know best — we think this results in better IDEs and editors.

Unfortunately, we do not get the full benefits of the approach because there are as many of such interfaces defined as there are editors and IDEs.
