See Theia AI and Theia IDE in a 40-minute all-live OCX26 demo featuring agents, capabilities, MCP, sub-agents, skills, custom workflows, AI-assisted code review, and more. The recording is a practical look at how AI-native features can be integrated into custom tools and domain-specific IDEs.
On June 2, the Eclipse Foundation will make optional identity verification generally available for Eclipse Foundation committers.
In our previous newsletter, we detailed the successful architectural porting of the Ionic/Capacitor and Tauri frameworks to the OpenHarmony operating system. This achievement was pivotal for the Eclipse Oniro ecosystem, lowering the barrier for millions of existing applications to migrate to this emerging platform. However, the most disruptive aspect of this project wasn't just what we built, but how we built it.

We are happy to announce the release of SUMO version 1.27.0. The download links are at https://sumo.dlr.de/Download.
If you cite the new release in your publications, please use the DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20312733 (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20312733)
Starting with this release, vehicles will default to departSpeed "avg" and departLane "best_prob".
As a result, the insertion flow rate is much higher, especially on multi-lane roads.
The latest version of Eclipse GlassFish 8.0.2 was released on May 5, 2026, with fixes for several critical vulnerabilities.
It builds on top of a lot of subtle work and improvements in GlassFish components like the Eclipse Grizzly HTTP framework, or in related components like Eclipse OpenMQ message broker and Eclipse ORB (CORBA) for remote EJB calls.
Eclipse Theia 1.71 delivers 79 improvements across SCM, Theia AI, Dev Containers, testing, and core platform capabilities. Read the announcement to learn about the new SCM History Graph, Workspace Trust for AI, reasoning controls, token usage warnings, and the new PR Reviewer Agent for AI-assisted code reviews.
AI agents rarely fail because their models are not “smart enough”. In open source AI systems, failures typically occur later, when demos are deployed to production.
AI coding agents are helping developers produce more code than ever, but that also makes code review a growing bottleneck.
We therefore introduce the PR Reviewer agent in the Theia IDE: an AI-assisted code review workflow that supports human reviewers instead of replacing them. The agent helps with tedious review tasks such as preparing the workspace, navigating changes, drafting findings, and posting comments, while the reviewer stays in control of the final outcome.
As advanced AI lowers the cost of discovering and exploiting software vulnerabilities, Europe must treat open source security and rapid patch deployment as critical resilience infrastructure.
This recap covers the Open Community for Compliance track at Open Community Experience 2026 (OCX26), with sessions focused on the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), SBOMs, open source governance, and what compliance actually requires from engineering teams.
This recap covers the Open Community for Research track at Open Community Experience 2026, focusing on how open source research moves from prototypes to open source platforms across IoT, AI, and digital infrastructure.
The Eclipse Safe Open Vehicle Core (S-CORE) community is happy to announce the release of version 0.7.0. This significant update introduces a host of new features, enhancements, and stability improvements, reinforcing our commitment to providing an open and safe platform for the next generation of vehicle software.
The Open Community for Automotive at OCX26 focused on how open source collaboration is transforming the software-defined vehicle ecosystem and enabling a full middleware platform for series vehicle production.
The main track at OCX26 focused on the practical challenges of building and operating open source systems at scale. Across three days, sessions addressed software trust, digital sovereignty, distributed architectures, and the integration of AI into enterprise environments.
The Eclipse Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) Working Group continues its strong growth trajectory in 2026, welcoming a diverse set of new members from across the global mobility, transportation, and embedded systems ecosystem.
The keynote agenda at OCX26 addressed the broader context in which open source systems are designed and deployed. Across three days, speakers explored how open source intersects with digital sovereignty, trust, AI adoption, and regulatory change.
