On 19 May 2026, the Eclipse Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) community held its first-ever meetup in India, hosted by Bosch Global Software Technologies in Bengaluru. What began as a conversation just a few months earlier quickly evolved into a landmark community event.
Open VSX has been named a finalist in the 2026 CODiE Awards in the Best DevOps Tool category.
Reaching version 1.0.0 is a special moment for any open source project. It marks more than a collection of features or bug fixes. It reflects years of collaboration, thousands of commits, countless discussions, and a shared belief that an idea is worth building together.
Today, we are pleased to celebrate the release of Eclipse Open VSX 1.0.0
Building production-ready domain-specific AI takes more than a great demo. This talk from OCX 2026 shares 10 practical lessons from real-world projects, covering design, evaluation, context management, agentic workflows, and operational readiness.
Gabriel Tomuța is a Software Engineer at Elektrobit Automotive and an active contributor to Eclipse Ankaios within the Eclipse SDV community.
Eclipse Theia 1.72 delivers faster builds with esbuild, improved AI agent workflows, safer tool confirmations, and better VS Code extension compatibility. Read the release notes to see what changed across Theia, Theia AI, the Theia IDE, devcontainers, and the workbench.
The Eclipse SDV Hackathon returns from 6–8 October for its fourth edition. This year, the entire community will come together in one location: Friedrichshafen.
The Eclipse Foundation welcomes the European Commission’s new European Tech Sovereignty strategy as a major step toward recognising open source as essential to Europe’s digital autonomy, resilience, competitiveness, and long-term technological leadership.
Infosys has joined the Eclipse Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) Working Group, a global open-source consortium under the Eclipse Foundation focussed on accelerating software-defined vehicle innovation.
Open source infrastructure has become essential to modern software development. It supports the tools developers use every day, the embedded systems powering connected devices, and the software foundations behind emerging industries such as software-defined vehicles and industrial automation.
Two new 451 Research Market Insight Report Reprints by S&P Global and licensed to the Eclipse Foundation, examine how this infrastructure is evolving in two key areas: Open VSX and Eclipse ThreadX.
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.

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.
