Philip recently presented Eclipse GLSP at the Eclipse Cloud Tools Time webinar series. The talk provides a nice overview of the motivation, concepts and capabilities of GLSP. This includes diagram editor features, integration with an underlying...

Do you want to extend VS Code with a custom diagram editor? In this article we will introduce you to Eclipse GLSP, an open source framework to efficiently implement powerful diagram editors directly embedded into VS Code (via an extension). As the name suggests, it works very similar to the language server protocol (LSP), but for graphical diagram editors. VS Code is famous for being a...

Do you require features such as form-based editors, tree views, graphical editors, model comparison, model validation, model analysis or even code generation? Then read on.  Maximilian recently gave a talk as part of the Eclipse Cloud Tools Time webinar series about how to build web-based modeling tools and domain-specific tools using EMF.cloud, Eclipse GLSP...

In this article, we introduce a minimal example for a diagram editor developed with Eclipse Graphical Language Server Platform (GLSP). GLSP is an open source framework to efficiently implement web-based diagrams. These diagrams can be used stand-alone (on a web page) or embedded into an IDE, such as VS Code, Eclipse Theia or Eclipse (see here). To get a basic understanding about the framework, GLSP provides...

Do you want to implement a diagram editor in Eclipse Theia? The Eclipse Graphical Language Server Platform (GLSP) allows you to very efficiently create your own web-based diagram editors. It also comes with an out-of-the-box Theia-integration, which lets you integrate a diagram editor into an existing Theia workbench. In this article, we focus on the integration points with Eclipse Theia. Eclipse GLSP is a framework to...

Do you want to see Eclipse GLSP, a framework for web-based diagram editors in action? In this article, we present a full-fledged example of a diagram editor implemented with GLSP that is available open source and on all supported platforms including VS Code, Eclipse Theia, Eclipse desktop and plain websites. You can even try the example in an online demonstration. Eclipse GSLP is an open source...

The article provides an overview of the most important diagram editor features of Eclipse GLSP. The Eclipse Graphical Language Server Platform is a framework for efficiently implementing web-based diagram editors, e.g. for VS Code, Eclipse Theia or in any web application. In this article, we provide a quick overview of the user-visible features that GLSP enables. We explicitly skip details as well as features that...

Eclipse GLSP is a framework to build diagram editors based on web technologies. These diagram editors can be embedded into any web page, but also into web-based IDEs such as VS Code or Eclipse Theia. By using a browser widget, the diagram editors can even be used in desktop tools such as the Eclipse IDE. To ease the integration of diagram editors built with Eclipse GLSP,...
