Documents That Settle Themselves: Allocations, Cascading Forms and Cross-Module Reports
How a Dirigible intent declares the behavior between business documents - payment allocation with automatic roll-ups, Depends-On forms that guide the user, and management reports that join data across modules.

When the Model Isn't Enough: Custom Java in the Web IDE
Low-code where you can, real code where you must. How to drop a hand-written Java calculation into a generated Dirigible application using calculated-field actions and the IntelliJ-grade Java tooling in the web IDE - without leaving the browser.
Composing a Business Suite: Reusable Master Data and One Shared Shell
How to split a billing domain into independent Dirigible modules that reference each other across models, reuse single master-data entities instead of duplicating them, and come together into one shared application shell.
From Prompt to Running App: Intent-Driven Development with Eclipse Dirigible
A hands-on walkthrough of building a complete Library management application from a single intent file - entities, a master-detail loan record, an approval workflow and a modern UI, with the AI assistant doing the heavy lifting.
Return of the Java: The IDE Strikes Back
Full JDT.LS IntelliSense, cross-file rename, Call and Type Hierarchies, a live Problems panel and a real breakpoint debugger - the Dirigible web IDE now edits, navigates and debugs Java like a desktop tool. Nothing to install, and your code is live the moment you hit save.
Muscle Memory: Spring-Style Beans and Injection Land in Eclipse Dirigible Java
@Component, constructor injection, List<T> collection injection, a Beans facade, and two clean handler styles for jobs, listeners and websockets - the client-Java model now thinks the way a Spring Boot developer already does. No XML, no component scan, no restart.

Tokens Without a User - Scope Mapping to Role(s) for Machine-to-Machine Access
OAuth2 Client Credentials tokens carry no user, no groups, no id token - just a scope claim. Dirigible now maps that scope claim to your roles, so the same role-protected endpoints that guard your users authorize your machines too. A new *.scopes artefact, a form editor in the IDE, and a 1:1 fallback that needs no configuration at all.
Write It in Anything, Run It in Dirigible - Introducing Native Applications
A new artefact type that pulls external HTTP services - local OS processes Dirigible spawns and supervises, or remote endpoints anywhere on the network - under one reverse proxy, with managed authentication, role-based access, and lifecycle control. Build the service in Node, Python, Go, .NET, Rust, anything that talks HTTP - Dirigible takes it from there.
Return of the Java - Decorators Awaken in Eclipse Dirigible
Hot-reloadable @Entity, @Repository, @Controller, @Inject - the decorator order finally lands in Java. Drop a .java file into the registry and watch enterprise Java go declarative, typed, and live-reloaded in one breath.
Attack of the Decorators - A New Hope for Eclipse Dirigible Developers
The Attack of the Decorators is here, and with it comes a wave of new TypeScript superpowers that dramatically simplify Dependency Injection, Entities, Jobs, Listeners, WebSockets, Controllers, Roles, and Extensions.
Introducing the Eclipse Dirigible CLI - Develop and Run Dirigible Projects Effortlessly from Your Terminal
Learn how to quickly create, run, and manage Eclipse Dirigible projects using the new Dirigible Command Line Interface (CLI) - available now as an NPM package.
