I tried it out. My first thought is, I wish I had downloaded a binary version. It was a 21min compile on my core i7.
Besides that, it looks very promising. The feature set is fairly humble, which is imo a good thing.
The best thing the devs could do now (they may have already did this) is to thoroughly document the server side API.
Most of the extensions I'd be interested in writing wouldn't really fit into the standard IDE paradigm, and that's what I think could be really cool about this. The ability to code an env (eg. in a seperate .html file) while I code is a very appealing prospect.
Hi - I am eclipse che project lead and founder of codenvy.
A couple of things:
1. If you checkout che.
2. Go into assembly-sdk
3. mvn clean install
If you do this directory, you just download the binaries - will take only a couple minutes.
You will want to checkout 4.0 branch, which has all of the new capabilities and design into it. We have swagger APIs that you can access for all of the RESTful stuff. It should be at http://localhost:8080/im-api-docs-ui/. I am going to verify with the engineers and get back to you if the URL has changed for Che 4.
