Eclipse Che: Unable to add plug-in automatically in workspace using Devfile for IntelliJ IDEA Community Editor
Summary
I am not able to install plug-ins automatically using devfile for intellij IDEA editor or JetBrains Pycharm editor. Request your help/pointer to achieve this.
Relevant information
For vscode editor able to do this using extensions.json
Hi, I don't think this is supported, any ideas @azatsarynnyy ?
I'm not sure If IDEA has a functionality similar to VS Code's extensions.json. If it does - it should work.
AFAIK, there's nothing in Devfile itself for installing IDEA plugins.
Maybe .idea/externalDepencies.xml is. An example: https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/blob/master/.idea/externalDependencies.xml
Thanks everyone for the response.. I shall test this and post here.
Thanks & Regards Debkanta
I tried it..but getiing the following error: "Requied Plugins not loaded. Project 'java-spring-petclinic-modified' requires '233.13135.103' or newer build of the IDE, but the current build is '221.5080.210" This is what I did:
- I forked the https://github.com/eclipse-che/che-devfile-registry
- Copied the https://github.com/eclipse-che/che-devfile-registry/tree/main/devfiles/java-web-spring to another folder "java-web-spring-modified" and changed to meta.yaml to map to my devfile registry "java-spring-petclinic-modified"
- Then I modified the "java-spring-petclinic-modified" and added the ".idea" folder with externalDependencies.xml
- The content of my externalDependencies.xml is as below:
I am wondering where from the version of intellij is selected by che devworkspace manager and how do I modify that?
Request you help please.
Thanks & regards Debkanta
