Roadmap

• Debugging

  A visual debugger leveraging the Debug Server Protocol defined by the VS Code team.

• Plug-in System

  A plug-in system supporting VS Code extensions.

• Workbench Improvements

  Theia's workbench shell will be improved, such that the user can drag and drop widgets from the side bar to the main area and vice-versa.

• Test Adapter Support

  Integration with testing frameworks, based on a Test Adapter Protocol.

• Robustness and Improved UX

  We will further work on simplifying Theia and its UI / UX, improve the performance and keep working on bug reports that are rolling in.

• More

  Any contributors might want to work on additional things. At least this happened in 2017 and is likely to increase with a growing community. :)
