Most developers don’t think about extension marketplaces, but they’ve become one of the most strategic control points in modern developer tooling. As AI-driven platforms evolve, the registry behind extensions is no longer secondary, it’s infrastructure. In this article, @tfroment explores why Open VSX matters not just for scale and security, but for software sovereignty in an increasingly AI-driven ecosystem. Read the article: hubs.la/Q047xKwn0 How important is vendor-neutral infrastructure for the future of developer tools? #opensource #DevTools #AI #OpenVSX

I am pleased to be speaking at #OCX26, the @EclipseFdn Foundation @ocxconference. The programme reflects where software engineering is heading. Take a look at the full agenda: ocxconf.org/event/2026/age… Feel free to reach out if you plan to attend, I can share a discount code.

🚨 If your company relies on #EclipseIDE or builds products on the Eclipse #RCP platform, please get in touch with me: the long term sustainability and survival of this technology depends on the companies that rely on it helping support its development!

🇩🇪 I will be in Nuremberg for Embedded Workd Exhibition&Conference from 10 to 12 March #EW26. If you are attending, feel free to stop by the @EclipseFdn booth in Hall 4, Booth 4 554, connect with me on LinkedIn linkedin.com/in/tfroment and let’s schedule a dedicated slot! #RCP

This Eclipse IDE (100% online) meetup starts in 15 minutes, feel free to join from meetup.com/polyglot-langu…

@lectersmarket @EclipseJavaIDE Ai will anyway be an optional extension

@EclipseJavaIDE Whatever you do, don’t integrate AI into the IDE. I won’t use eclipse if you put AI i. It.

If you depend on Eclipse Platform Technologies, now is the time to act!

If your products rely on Eclipse Platform technologies, this matters. 🧭 Eclipse Platform (aka #RCP) components remain widely deployed, but the model sustaining them is under pressure. 👇 Read the full article to understand the risk and what to do 👇 blogs.eclipse.org/post/thomas-fr…
