Build

This tool is currently generating data at build time so we can remove all plug-ins from the v3/plugins folder that are VS Code Extensions

This tool generates:

• v3/plugins/**/meta.yaml and v3/plugins/**/latest.txt based on the file `che-theia-plugins.yaml``
• v3/che-theia/featured.json which defines the recommended plug-ins when no plug-in is set in che-theia
• v3/che-theia/recommendations/<language>.json with recommendations per language

npm package

The build tool is available at https://www.npmjs.com/package/@eclipse-che/plugin-registry-generator

@next alias version will link the current development version.

Flags

root folder

--root-folder:/root-path assume the che-*.yaml files are in this folder

output folder

--output-folder:/output-path assume the generated files will be in this folder

Default to /tmp/che-plugin-registry/output-folder

embed the vsix files

--embed-vsix:true will embed the vsix in the generated output folder (and in the OCI image)

Digest generation

By default all generated images tags are using the digest (sha256 link)

Use --skip-digest-generation:true to disable it.
