Eclipse Che 6.13 is here with some interesting news. First, the process of migrating the Java support in Che to use the JDT Language Server is now complete, which means you can now have all the same language services you get in the desktop Eclipse IDE or VSCode, but with the convenience of Che in your browser. Second, the latest release brings a bunch of enhancements for Gradle and Java 10, as well as new features for their next-generation developer workspaces and updated IDE.

This release also includes a bunch of enhancements related to the next generation of containerized workspaces, including updates to the new IDE that enable the execution of remote plug-ins. You can now load IDE plug-ins at run-time in separate containers (without restarting the workspace) and have the endpoints to access these plug-ins detected automatically.
