Eclipse Che is a next-generation Eclipse IDE, developer workspace server and cloud IDE. Che is customizable with extensions, plugins, agents, branding, stacks, and templates. These modifications can be repackaged into new assemblies that are distributed to users.
You can use Maven Archetypes to generate sample custom assemblies. These custom assemblies demonstrate the modifications needed to make simple changes to Che, designed to be a quick start and learning tool for assembly developers.
Codenvy is a version of Eclipse Che that adds multi-tenancy, user authentication, and multi-node workspace scaling. Codenvy can also be customed with custom assemblies based upon Eclipse Che archetypes.
For more information on how to work with archetypes, visit official Che documentation https://eclipse.org/che/docs/assemblies/archetype/index.html
