Che is a project to create a platform for SAAS developer environments.  A SAAS developer environment is one that contains all of the tools, infrastructure, and processes necessary for a developer to edit, build, test, and debug an application.  Since a SAAS developer environment is fully hosted, whether it is running on your desktop, in your datacenter, or in the cloud, that environment can be cloned, embedded, and shared in ways that desktop-installed environments cannot be.  SAAS developer environments also contain the tools to orchestrate developer workflows, exposed in a variety of interfaces either through REST APIs, a browser-based client providing IDE functions, or a CLI. The Che project contains a structured way to create server- and client-side extensions that are authored in Java, but generated as JavaScript, a set of standard developer-related REST APIs for interacting with development workflows, a large set of language & tooling extensions (Java, git, etc.), a default cloud IDE, and a developer environment cloud for scaling environments with large populations.

Eclipse Che is a cloud IDE and a platform for creating cloud IDE extensions. Che ships with 55 extensions for Java, JavaScript, AngularJS, git, and Docker. Package your own Che extensions to create beautiful, cross-browser developer tooling. Eclipse Che has been commercialized by Codenvy (www.codenvy.com), which provides a hosted version and a commercial on-premises version.

We also have public weekly meetings for discussions about Che development and all related stuff.
