Plug-in registry and editor definitions
The Che plug-in registry provides the list of available editors and editor extensions, each described by a Devfile v2. The dashboard reads this registry when assembling the DevWorkspace custom resource for a new workspace.
The user dashboard reads the content of the registry to determine which editors and extensions are available. The che-editors.yaml file linked in Additional resources lists every editor definition, and the online instance provides the latest community version of the registry.
