This document provides an introduction to Eclipse Che, a cloud integrated development environment (IDE) and software development kit (SDK) for building cloud-based IDE extensions. It discusses how Che aims to make developer workspace configuration repeatable and distributes developer services through browser-accessible microservices and plugins. The document outlines Che's architecture, components, roadmap, and relationship to the broader Eclipse Cloud Development initiative. It also provides information on getting started with Che and developing IDE extensions for it.

Continuous delivery demands repeatability - but developer
workspace configuration is individual & complex.

3. Eclipse Che is a cloud IDE and SDK for creating cloud IDE
extensions.
Che ships with 55 extensions for Java, JavaScript,
AngularJS, git, and Docker.
Assemble your own Che extensions to create distributed
developer services accessible in a browser.

9. Getting Started with Che
Source: github.com/codenvy/sdk
github.com/codenvy/assembly-che
Developer Mailing List: che-dev@eclipse.org
Planning Meetings: wiki.eclipse.org/che
IRC: #eclipseche (routes to slack)
Note: Currently 1000 issues open on Che, hosted at Codenvy’s
private Jira. We are working to export into bugzilla.
