According to the documentation, the Microbit flavor of MakeCode can be hosted locally by downloading the entire PXT Toolchain. I'm wondering whether the procedure described at https://github.com/Microsoft/pxt-microbit will work for other MakeCode targets, in particular for the EV3 Mindstorms.
This generally only works for open source targets. EV3 is not, as of now, open source.

I am developing a free software code coverage tool that leverages LSP. I do not want to reinvent the wheel in order to specify and launch a particular language server. What seems to make sense is to use VSCode to obtain the LS extension from the marketplace which will establish an entry in ~/.vscode/extensions. Once I have the extension on my computer I would use it to launch the LS much as VSCode does.
So now I need to grok this extension format to develop a launcher inside my tool. I am looking for specs, examples, tutorials, code or other material that will help, especially from other developers who have done this already.
I am already quite familiar with the LSP spec and some Microsoft VSCode sites and articles, fwiw.
Perhaps a link to the VSCode source where it leverages an extension to launch a language server would be helpful.
I succeeded to developed a small application under Windows using PyQT and QML, and now I will like to use it in a tablet (windows).
Then I have no idea how to do the deployed (I want have an icon in my tablet, when I click on it.... the application starts)
I've heard of pydepolyer or py2exe that generates .exe but I do not know how to use it.
this is the architecture of my application.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to Python has a nice little comparison table of freezing tools with links to their manuals.
Freezing your code
I've used both py2exe and pyInstaller. I found that while more difficult to use, in the long run, pyInstaller has more features that are more appealing.
There is also a python wiki dedicated to packaging and deploying PyQt applications.
Is there an IDE like Xcode to develop cross platform apps using ionic? I played with creator.ionic.io but they charge 40$ per month for the complete app development. Can you suggest some open source IDEs? Basically I wanted something similar to ionic where I can drag and drop objects to build the UI
I had come across the same problem when i started at first and found some suggestions from ionic official website.
I copied contents here for convenience.
Visual Studio Code
VS Code is a new editor that comes with support for ES6 syntax, as well as TypeScript support. It will also prompt users to include TypeScript definition files and download them from Definitely Typed. Visual Studio Code is free and works on OS X, Windows, and Linux.
Atom
Atom is cross platform editor built on web technologies. Atom has many plugins to make ES6/TypeScript development very easy. If there isn't something provided by Atom or a plugin, you can even make a plugin yourself, using JavaScript. Atom works on OS X, Windows, and Linux.
WebStorm
WebStorm is a paid IDE that provides many features, such as advanced refactoring support, automatic compilation of code, and gulp/grunt/webpack support. Out of the box, WebStorm comes with support for ES6 and TypeScript, as well as Angular and Ionic syntax support.
ALM
ALM is a free open source IDE built for typescript development, it can be run on any computer running chrome and can be hosted on a server and used on any computer with internet access.
Angular IDE by Webclipse
Angular IDE is a freemium IDE built for Angular 2 and TypeScript development providing integrated terminal support helping with node and npm management. Out of the box, Angular IDE includes code completion and validation for ES6, TypeScript, and Angular 2 HTML templates.
Personally i am using "Brackets" its open source as well and really good.
I think community gets totally confused about the OP's question here.He is asking not about an IDE for developing Ionic apps.He is asking the IDE like an Ionic creator.Which is the IDE anyone can create ionic apps without writing a code.
What is an Ionic Creator? See here.
Creator is a simple drag-&-drop tool for going from idea to App
Store, with just the drag of a mouse.
There is no such free and open source tool but the price you have mentioned is not correct with the official Ionic creator. It is $24/mo.You can see details here.
PRO
$24/mo for individuals
Unlimited Projects
Private Projects
In-Tool Code Editing
Basic & Native Exporting
Creator Mobile App
Note:
By using above tool you can create Ionic 1 apps only.There is no support for Ionic 2 yet. You can see the Roadmap of Ionic 2 creator here.
I have two system, one in my office and one in my home. I am working on one Java application. I am facing one problem which is, after completing work in office I need to do it at home. For this before closing the eclipse, I copy the complete project in pendrive then I copy it into my home system, and then able to work from home and able to start from the place where I left the program in office. Same task I need to do, now from home to office.
Is there any eclipse plug-in or any other way available by which I will able to synchronize both the workbench.
There are some plug-in avilable like SVN, CVS but these plugin require one server, static IP address etc which is costly.
Example:- Google Drive
if you install google drive on two different system with same google account and if you do any change in one system then this change will reflect on other system also.
Edited:If you are using a personal computer at work or if the office computer allows it, you can use Dropbox.Create the project in Dropbox and then when at work,all you need to do is import the project (do not copy into workspace).What ever changes you make is persisted in Dropbox.
It sounds like what you need is a version control system, and one that is available as a free service. This allows you to store the code on an external server and have it reachable both from work and home.
Git is very popular these days for good reasons. It has a good Eclipse plugin, Egit, that comes preinstalled in later Eclipse releases. There are several external repositories that you can use, see this question, or just Google. Many offer free hosting for small projects.
This will require a bit of a learning curve, but it will help you greatly.
I use a small (pocket size) external drive. I have eclipse and my workspace on it (and other tools I need) - I can easily plug it into my work or home PC (or client PC if traveling). It works great - just assign it the same drive letter on both home and work PC.
I would also recommend you use a code repository in addition to an external drive to store the source code - CVS, SVN, Git, etc.
We are working with various cloud platform(like. salesforce etc) and we need sync with server everyday. would like to know is there way that we can in our development box to synchronize all eclipse projects through some script without opening the IDE and open the IDE without much freezing.
This would enable to do clean sync( with cloud server) and refresh with local files.
This would enable to do refresh( for non cloud server ).
running a little ant or some kind of script would have development stable unique environment across all developers?
Any help would be appreciated.
It's going to GREATLY depend on what cloud platforms you are using. HOWEVER, i work with the salesforce platform. They offer (per their dev. docs) an ant API jar that allows you to write ant scripts that can essentially check out everything in your org.
Essentially you can use it to check out and check back in pieces and parts of the website. Though this of course only works for SFDC. For other platforms you will need to refer to their API's or write your own tools.
