AIDE vs Eclipse Che

AIDE is an integrated development environment for creating Android apps and other mobile projects directly on an Android device. It supports Java, C/C++, HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, with Android and PhoneGap/Cordova listed as targets. The editor includes code completion, error checking, refactoring, and code navigation. A mobile Android SDK is included, so the maker says a separate SDK installation is unnecessary for Android app development. AIDE also supports Android NDK work with C/C++ on Arm devices, provides Git and Dropbox support, and opens Eclipse projects plus basic Android Studio projects using the default structure. The full Gradle build system is not supported. Interactive lessons teach programming step by step while letting learners build apps. A visual UI designer and app packaging are included. AIDE is freemium: Android Edition is free; UI Designer costs 2.99 USD once, while Premium Key and PhoneGap Edition cost 9.99 USD once. Final prices depend on country.

Eclipse Che is an open-source development environment that runs IDEs in Kubernetes. Users create workspaces from a Git repository or sample, then access them online through a browser. Visual Studio Code and JetBrains IDEs are available. Workspace definitions use Devfiles, YAML files that can be versioned with application source code, and a devcontainer configuration is listed. GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket identities can connect through OAuth. Teams can share a development setup by URL, and Che can run on public or private Kubernetes clusters, including self-hosted deployments. Access uses OIDC authentication and Kubernetes RBAC authorization. Enterprise support includes air-gapped networks, TLS certificates, proxies, and FIPS. Code is cloned to persistent storage by default, but other file changes disappear when a workspace stops unless stored on a persistent volume. Che is free, with no stated usage limits.
