Eclipse Che 5.0

5.0

Description

Che 5 is a generational advance of the world’s most popular open source developer workspace server and cloud IDE. Che lets you convert any production runtime into a developer workspace. Start with Docker or Compose, “dev mode” it with our agents, and then connect with your desktop IDE or our beautiful browser IDE.

 

This release includes:

  • New (fun!) CLI: Offline installation, simple configuration, and data backup.

  • New Debuggers: Added new Node.JS and Zend PHP debuggers.

  • SSH: Automatic key generation across all machines in a single workspace.
