Announcements

BRUSSELS – 30 JUNE 2026 – The Eclipse Foundation, one of the world’s largest open source software foundations, in collaboration with the Open Regulatory Compliance (ORC) Working Group, today announced the launch of the ORC Learning Hub, a free global education initiative designed to help the people responsible for building, maintaining, securing, and governing open source software prepare for the European Union’s

Eclipse Open VSX has reached an important milestone in its evolution as open source infrastructure for developer tooling. The project now serves millions of developers worldwide through AI-native IDEs, cloud development environments, and VS Code-compatible platforms, delivering more than 600 million extension downloads every month.

Eclipse Theia’s OCX26 project update highlights a year of strong momentum across the platform, Theia AI, and the Theia IDE, including around 1,200 merged PRs, close to 80 contributors, and a Codie 2025 Award. Watch the recap to learn how Theia is evolving for custom tools, AI-native IDEs, and Eclipse RCP modernization.

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

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.

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.

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.

Data In Motion has been commissioned by the Sovereign Tech Fund to modernize the OSGi ecosystem over the next 12 months.

Open source infrastructure underpins much of the software world, but it often goes underfunded. That is exactly the gap that the Sovereign Tech Agency was created to close, by using a range of dedicated programs, including the Sovereign Tech Fund. OSGi got selected as one of the technologies to be improved.

Our Core Position

The initiative supports responsible disclosure by the global security research community to protect critical open source developer infrastructure.

As we approach Open Community Experience (OCX) 2026, taking place 21–23 April in Brussels, I’ve been reflecting on this year’s program and what it says about where our community is heading.
