Today, we’ve shipped to the the Eclipse community our technical preview of CodeMix. What is CodeMix, how do you install it, what makes it so cool? Read on for the details.
CodeMix is a technology that allows developers to take advantage of the wide array of tooling, language, and framework support that is available with Visual Studio Code and with a plethora of extensions built on Code OSS … in Eclipse!
With the enterprise pedigree of Eclipse, the smarts that Visual Studio Code is bringing to the modern web space, and literally thousands of plug-ins and extensions between the two ecosystems, a developer’s capabilities in Eclipse are now virtually limitless. Work in a singular hybrid environment, where you have superb Java, Spring, and Maven support, along with the capability to develop applications with React, Angular, Vue, Python, etc.
How did we come up with this fantastic idea? Take a look at our blog, or this interview with SuperbCrew to learn more.
