Re: [che-dev] Building Images at WS creation Time

The format used to define the container (dockerfile or yaml) doesn't change much. Technically we may be able to do build an image at runtime but I am still trying to understand if building jdt ls at runtime is a good choice. 

We have introduced the plugin-broker service a few months ago to solve this exact same problem: supporting jdt ls plugins (as well as other plugins of plugins). That has been a bad decision: more complexity for no value. We have never implemented the jdt ls plugin broker and we have no plan to do that.

Am I the only one that still do not understand what are these jdt.ls plugins for? And who are the 3rd party that creates those plugins?

You are not the only one.
Happy to hear that "total IDE extensibility at any cost" policy begins to be questioned
 
Isn't it better to focus and improve the VS Code Extensions support instead of supporting jdt.ls plugins?

Would CEKit work here? It lets you define images as yml (not dockerfiles) and then build 'em on the fly with podman/buildah/docker/brew. Doesn't rely on s2i images -- examples given are pure centos.

So my idea is to run a s2i build when a workspace is created or when it's configuration is changed. The s2i build would native-compile jdt.ls together with the bundles that need to run inside it. The outcome will be the "Java support" sidecar image.

Sounds interesting but s2i is OpenShift specific framework. How this would work in the Kubernetes world?

I'm sure there's some way to build an image, but I don't know. Che could abstract over the exact mechanism.
