Chapter 5. Deprecated functionalities

5.1. Planned deprecation of the Eclipse Theia editor in OpenShift Dev Spaces

In the next release, OpenShift Dev Spaces 3.4, the Eclipse Theia editor will be deprecated and its extensions will no longer be maintained. Eclipse Theia will be removed in a later release of OpenShift Dev Spaces. Red Hat will no longer provide bug fixes and support for Eclipse Theia in OpenShift Dev Spaces but will provide security fixes until its removal from OpenShift Dev Spaces. Although your users can continue to optionally use Eclipse Theia until its removal, you must prepare to migrate your users to Visual Studio Code - Open Source, which is introduced as the new default editor with air gap support in OpenShift Dev Spaces 3.3.
