Registration for Open Community Experience (OCX) 2027 is now open. OCX is the Eclipse Foundation's flagship annual open source developer conference, bringing together developers, maintainers and open source communities from across Europe and beyond.

More than 300 definitions, 13 chapters, two languages and an open licence. Led by the Embedded France association, the French embedded‑systems community is releasing a structured reference vocabulary, contributing to a shared European language for embedded AI.

Our AI-powered AUTOSAR modeling demo from OCX shows how an AI agent can create, connect, understand, and modify graphical models using natural language. Watch the demo to see Eclipse Theia AI and Eclipse GLSP working together in a domain-specific modeling tool.

Open source framework brings high-level programming to quantum computing, making complex quantum algorithms easier to build, optimise, and maintain

New vendor-neutral initiative brings together an initial community of 17 organisations to connect industry needs with open source AI projects and turn shared expertise into practical guidance for greater choice and control

The EU-funded OCCTET project delivers open source tools to help organisations identify software components, address vulnerabilities, and prepare compliance documentation ahead of the first CRA reporting deadline.

Eclipse Theia 1.75 adds major new AI capabilities including Agent Plugins, agent Memory, and MCP Apps with interactive UI directly in chat. The release also brings a unified AI configuration experience, SCM improvements, faster startup, updated platform technologies, and dozens of additional enhancements - well worth a look at the full release notes.

Jakarta Faces gets a fresh perspective in this article by Angelo Rubini, who introduces AliFaces - a marketplace concept for stateless Jakarta Faces components.

The piece covers how moving to a stateless architecture can benefit Jakarta Faces applications, addressing common challenges in modern web development. Rubini presents practical insights on building scalable web applications while maintaining the familiar component-based approach that Jakarta Faces developers appreciate.

BRUSSELS and Wilmington, DE  – 30 July 2026 – The Eclipse Foundation, one of the world’s largest open source software foundations, and the Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP), a global nonprofit foundation dedicated to improving software security, today announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen open source security and support industry readiness for the European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).

The learning hub helps you get productive faster with guides, tutorials, and learning resources designed for modern enterprise Java.

A coordinated effort to secure open source is overdue. But routing the world’s most sensitive security data through a single jurisdiction recreates the very weakness it sets out to fix. In an immediate response, a new initiative has been announced to coordinate the full vulnerability remediation lifecycle.

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.
