I read that Eclipse Che uses Eclipse Orion as its code editor but, while multiple languages seem to be supported in Che, such information for Orion seem to be quite outdated and only JavaScript and other webdev seem to be supported. So:
Like Che, does Eclipse Orion also have editor plugins for
Java
Python
C/C++
and do those plugins have features like
(a) Syntax highlighting
(b) Code completion
(c) Error detection and smart suggestions
(d) Rename refactoring...?
PS1: For my EC2, I could have used Che, but all I want is only its browser IDE without docker containers etc. Besides, running Che on EC2 apparently requires some ephemeral ports to be opened to the world because of docker etc.
PS2: Cloud9 would have worked but it doesnt have SSH access for free version.
Eclipse Orion does not have language tooling for Java, Python or C/C++. Only syntax highlighting is implemented for those languages.

Is there a standard way to handle Visual Studio Code inside a company network, in which VS Code is not allowed to contact the Internet?
For e.g. Eclipse, we can host our own update sites for plugins and can package pre-configured versions of the IDE for the developers.
Is there something similar for VS Code?
There are two ways (I know of) how you can provide pre-configured VSCode-installations
A) VSCode inside a Docker container. You'll have a minimal standard installation of VSCode on your computer, all plugins and settings come with the Docker image that is loaded into your local VSCode installation. See docs here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers
B) VSCode web. This is a zero-installation version of VSCode which is running in the web browser. See docs here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/vscode-web You can try it on GitHub: open any repo and change .com in the domain to .dev
As it is said in https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/implementors/servers , PyDev is a LSP server for Python. So how to run it as a LSP server ?
It is possible by using https://www.pydev.org/vscode/index.html (still note that although PyDev itself is free/open source, this particular integration to use it as a language server is commercial).
I noticed today that VSCode is recommending plugins to me based on what applications I have installed locally.
For instance, if I hover over the recommended Sublime Text Keymapper, it tells me it is recommending it because I have Sublime Text installed.
Does anyone know if the matching between my installed apps and available extensions is done locally, or if the list of known installed apps is sent to a server somewhere?
It's local. Here's the code for it: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/blob/2b251d6e5ebefc2acdc6e73aae92ac2339b4984b/src/vs/workbench/parts/extensions/electron-browser/extensionTipsService.ts#L734
The non oss build just ships with a static mapping of executables names to extensions
My company is using an old CentOS6 and they wont update it before months (years?). This is totally out of my control and it obviously makes using up to date software a nightmare.
I would like to use Visual Studio Code as a C++ IDE but its intellisense plugin is running with glibc >=2.14 and Centos6 comes with glibc 2.12.
It also needed some more dependencies I managed to recompile and load with LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I tried compiling a new glibc and load it as well but it segfault, as expected.
I used the compiled version of VSCode from the official website.
I tried compiling it myself but it requires to download many files and my virtual machine does not have Internet, I can only transfer files through ftp. I created a local yarn repository, compiled all appropriate version of Yarn, NodeJS but a compiled binary is trying to download electron and I have no idea where to put the file to trick him into thinking it's downloaded already (assuming I could).
There are standalone solutions to run software on old distribution, like AppImage but VSCode is not part of their apps.
Would you have any idea on how to run VSCode on Centos6? Did you ever try to compile VSCode without and Internet Connection?
Currently the only viable solution I see would be to create an AppImage at home.
To run VS Code Server on CentOS 6, I followed the "glibc and libstdc ++ on RHEL / CentOS 6 update" article from here.
Perhaps this option will help you.
I am thinking of installing Eclipse for developing STM32 programs (I have a question about this that I will post later). In the instructions it says I have to install:
the IDE for C/C++
GNU ARM Eclipse Plug-ins
GNU GCC ARM tool-chain
among other tools..
However, I am also thinking of installing e2studio for developing Renesas programs. You can see about this Here. There you can see that this is "based on Eclipse CDT" (what is the difference between this CDT and the IDE?) and that it also uses Plug-ins like GNU Tool & Support Here.
My question is, is this possible? Do I have to install them separately? (I guess so). Will the GNU tools will also be installed twice??
(I am using a windows10 machine)
Thanks in advance
CDT is dedicated to C/C++ programming. Actually I personally prefere to have separate eclipse installations for different families of uC. Why? Because it is much easier to manage updates and to keep my work in the correct order.
For STM32 I advice (I think, you are a novice user of Eclipse & ARM toolchains) to install OpenSTM32 (yo have a straightforward installer). It imports projects from CUBEFX & MX which gives you an easy way to import examples & initialisation code from Cube. I personally do not use HAL libraries but as I know I am a minority.
However, I am also thinking of installing e2studio for developing
Renesas programs. You can see about this Here. There you can see that
this is "based on Eclipse CDT" (what is the difference between this
CDT and the IDE?)
Eclipse CDT is an open-source general-purpose C and C++ IDE.
e2studio is one of several software packages that extend CDT with (most likely proprietary) plugins geared towards a more specific market (in this case, Renesas programs).
My question is, is this possible?
Yes.
Do I have to install them separately? (I guess so).
Yes.
Will the GNU tools will also be installed twice?? (I am using a windows10 machine)
You can certainly share a single installation of a toolchain between two installations of CDT, if both of them need the same toolchain (in terms of version and architecture). I don't know enough about STM32 and Renesas to tell you if they use the same toolchain.
