Lithe is a lightweight, open-source integrated development environment designed for Java, Spring Boot, and AI-assisted programming. It provides essential coding tools without the memory overhead of traditional IDEs. Its editor supports code completion, symbol navigation, project-wide search, and on-demand language servers. Developers can manage Maven projects, configure run commands, and debug applications with breakpoints. Integrated Git tools enable version control, side-by-side diff reviews, and AI-generated commit messages. Local snapshot history protects previous code versions, while multi-project support simplifies workspace management. Automatic project detection supports Java, Python, Go, Rust, and other development environments. Lithe also includes Markdown rendering, database tools, and a plugin system for extending functionality.
