theia-ecore

The example of how to build the Theia-based applications with the theia-ecore.

Remarks regarding glsp-server start up

You will need openjdk >= 11 on your path, as the client starts the ecore-glsp-server.

Before you start the browser or electron application you have to run the mvn clean install on the server application. This copies a build artifact into the build folder of theia-glsp-server.

yarn rebuild:browser
cd browser-app
yarn start

Open http://localhost:3000 in the browser. You may use the example workspace in client/workspace to quickly get started.

Running the Electron example

yarn rebuild:electron
cd electron-app
yarn start
