Building Specialized C/C++ Tools: Eclipse Theia and CDT Cloud in Action

Presented by Philip Langer of EclipseSource at TheiaCon 2023.

Do you plan to develop a specialized IDE for C/C++ development, customized to your specific toolchains and hardware? Learn how Eclipse Theia, powered by CDT Cloud technologies, provides an ideal solution for building tailored C/C++ tools.

Eclipse Theia, extended with CDT Cloud technologies, provides a cutting-edge web-based IDE for C/C++ development, featuring excellent coding, debugging, and tracing capabilities. It also serves as a flexible foundation for adding your specific features, including custom project configurations, hardware integration, and toolchain support.

In this session, we'll demonstrate how to get started with the development of a tailored C/C++ tool leveraging CDT Cloud Blueprint. Using the Raspberry Pico as an example, we will guide you through the initial stages of developing a custom tool for embedded development, delve into typical customizations for a specialized C/C++ IDE, and discuss subsequent steps and refinements needed for each customization.
