This blog post provides an in-depth look at how modern architectures, such as web-based, cloud-powered, and protocol-driven designs, are influencing the development of scalable, extensible, and future-proof tools. As technology continues to advance, these new approaches offer important opportunities for tool builders to create solutions that meet the challenges of the future while still accommodating a broad range of development needs.

The results from over 170 respondents left us with a number of important takeaways about the adoption of enterprise Java technologies, developer priorities, and more. Here are the key findings.

Eclipse Theia 1.59 has been released, featuring 95 improvements, including AI-powered chat context management, enhancements to Theia Coder for intelligent code modifications, expanded LLM compatibility, and updates to the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Notably, Theia IDE now integrates AI-assisted development tools more seamlessly, with improved agent interactions, logging APIs, and dev container support.

Discover how Theia AI and the AI-powered Theia IDE give you full control over AI models—no vendor lock-in, complete flexibility, and future-proof AI integration. Whether you're using cloud-based, self-hosted, or local LLMs, Theia adapts to your needs. Read the full article to see why this matters! 🚀

The Open Regulatory Compliance WG has created new resources on GitHub for those who are just getting started or who want to learn how to contribute. We hosted our first workshop in Brussels, joined the EU Open Source Policy Summit and attended the first CRA Expert Group meeting, had multiple community members present during FOSDEM, and developed a deliverables plan that better defines next steps and how others can contribute. 

We're thrilled to introduce this new quarterly newsletter dedicated to all things related to software-defined vehicles (SDVs) and the growing Eclipse SDV community. Join our mailing list to receive it in your inbox as soon as it's available.

JCON EUROPE 2025, taking place from 12-15 May 2025, at the Cinedom Multiplex Cinema in Cologne, is one of the biggest international Java community conferences in Germany. This year marks the 30-year anniversary of Java and a decade of JCON.

The article describes the journey of creating a multi-agent platform, a Language Model Operating System (LMOS), which was developed to solve the challenge of deploying LLM-powered applications for highly distributed scenarios with localised constraints.

We are excited to announce the Public Preview of GitHub Copilot for Eclipse. As part of the broader GitHub Copilot family, which enhances productivity in various IDEs, this latest integration ensures that developers using Eclipse can benefit from AI-assisted coding like never before.

The Biscuit project is designed to be the core authorization component in large-scale distributed systems. As such, it needs to be stable, safe, but it also became apparent that it should provide assurances for users that it will be supported for a long time, with a clear governance.

Software-defined vehicles sit at the crossroads of automotive and software development – two fields where, sadly, women have historically been underrepresented. The good news is that this convergence presents a unique opportunity to bridge the gender gap by joining forces, sharing experiences, and uniting talents from both domains.

Adoptium is happy to announce the immediate availability of Eclipse Temurin 8u442-b06, 11.0.26+4, 17.0.14+7, 21.0.6+7 and 23.0.2+7. As always, all binaries are thoroughly tested and available free of charge without usage restrictions on a wide range of platforms.

Curious about what draws individuals to the automotive industry and to the Eclipse SDV Working Group? This month, we're kicking off a new series of brief interviews with our most active Eclipse SDV committers.

Collaboration in the software-defined vehicle (SDV) space is not just a best practice; it’s a necessity. As the automotive industry shifts toward software-driven innovation, the role of open source becomes pivotal. However, fostering collaboration in a historically siloed industry presents both immense opportunities and significant challenges. At Open Community for Automotive last fall, experts Kai Hudalla, Steven Hartley, Phani Gangula, and Carlton Bale shared their insights on why collaboration and integration are so critical – and so difficult – in the SDV ecosystem.
