Eclipse Temurin has achieved a remarkable milestone: 700 million cumulative downloads! This achievement is a testament to the community's trust and the increasing popularity of open source Java, which has seen downloads grow exponentially over the last three years.
The conversation covers the evolution of open source, its industry acceptance, and emerging security challenges. Key initiatives like the Cyber Resilience Act and the OCCTET Project aim to enhance open source security.
The third edition of the Eclipse SDV Hackathon is just around the corner, and we’re excited to introduce the 2025 challenges.
GPT-5 or Sonnet-4: Which AI handles real coding better? Watch them go head-to-head in the Theia IDE on real-world tasks—from instruction following to complex bug fixing—and see which model fits your workflow.
Michael Plagge, VP Ecosystem Development at the Eclipse Foundation, joined "Under the Hood: Automotive Storytelling" to explore how open source collaboration is transforming automotive software development from the ground up.
The open source community is mobilizing in unprecedented fashion as the European Union's Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) approaches its September 2026 reporting deadline, with penalties reaching up to €15 million or 2.5% of global turnover for non-compliance. The Eclipse Foundation's Open Regulatory Compliance (ORC) Working Group has more than doubled its membership to over 50 organizations in just months, attracting technology giants Microsoft and Red Hat as strategic members alongside GitHub, Google, Nokia, and Mercedes-Benz.

OCCTET isn't the Eclipse Foundation's only CRA-related initiative. The Open Regulatory Compliance Working Group (ORC Working Group) is also now offering initial resources to support CRA implementation and compliance. The Working Group has also expanded its membership: Microsoft and Red Hat are now on board as strategic members, along with Google, exkide, and Open Source Matters.
The first half of 2025 has been a period of foundational strengthening for the Oniro Working Group. We're not just building an operating system kit; we're crafting the tools that will redefine how devices interact, empowering developers to create new experiences.
Here’s a preview of the topics and sessions shaping Code & Compliance Community Day 2025, taking place October 22–23, 2025 in Brussels. This event brings together open source maintainers, compliance leads, manufacturers, and institutional stakeholders to reflect on the Cyber Resilience Act’s (CRA) first year and help shape what comes next.
🚀 Eclipse Theia 1.64 is here—bringing AI-powered IDE features to beta, seamless LLM model aliasing, and a sleek new 3-way merge editor! If you're building cloud-native or AI-driven development tools, this update is packed with powerful enhancements worth exploring.
Theia AI and the AI-powered Theia IDE support GPT-5 out of the box, letting developers tap into its advanced coding, reasoning, and multimodal capabilities with zero integration work. This makes it easier than ever to explore GPT-5’s improved code handling, tool orchestration, and customizable interactions directly in your workflow.
TheiaCon 2025 is where this vision comes to life: through technical talks, live demos, and shared lessons from those building the next generation of tools.
The Call for Proposals (CFP) is now open, and we’re looking for talks that bring real engineering stories: architectures that work, lessons learned from the field, performance data, and code others can build on.
The safety science company plans to help advance the safe adoption of innovative open source automotive software.
What if Claude Code was built into your IDE, not just bolted on? This prototype shows how deeply integrated AI coding could look in Eclipse Theia - interactive, contextual, and fully native
The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is facing mounting criticism from industry stakeholders, with some describing the situation as a “five‑alarm fire.” Concerns centre on the law’s classification of certain digital products — particularly those tied to security and safety — as “critical,” a designation that could impose disproportionate compliance burdens on manufacturers and service providers. Many of the unresolved questions raised by the CRA are being addressed within the ORC's FAQ.
The Adoptium Summit, a free half-day virtual event happening on 1 October 2025, will bring together developers, users, and ecosystem stakeholders from around the world to explore the latest innovations in Java and showcase practical real-world use cases powered by Adoptium technologies.
Carmen Delgado, in collaboration with Tanja Obradovic, Thomas Froment and Diana Kupfer, explores how open collaboration and vendor-neutral governance are keeping Java relevant.
AI workflows in Theia IDE just leveled up—agents can now delegate tasks to each other, like testing an app and automatically logging bugs in GitHub. Check out how agent-to-agent delegation makes multi-agent automation seamless and scalable.
The Eclipse Migration Toolkit for Java (EMT4J) is an open source project under the Eclipse Adoptium Working Group, specifically designed to simplify the process of migrating Java version.
