Plugin registry

To understand how Che provides editors and extensions for workspaces, review the plugin registry that serves editor definitions described in Devfile v2 format.

Each Che workspace starts with a specific editor and set of associated extensions. The Che plugin registry provides the list of available editors and editor extensions. A Devfile v2 describes each editor or extension.

The User dashboard is reading the content of the registry.
