ECLIPSE THEIA - PLUGIN-EXT EXTENSION

---

Description

The @theia/plugin-ext extension contributes functionality for the plugin API.

Implementation

The implementation is inspired from: https://blog.mattbierner.com/vscode-webview-web-learnings/.

Environment Variables

• THEIA_WEBVIEW_EXTERNAL_ENDPOINT

  A string pattern possibly containing {{uuid}} and {{hostname}} which will be replaced. This is the host for which the webviews will be served on. It is a good practice to host the webview handlers on a sub-domain as it is more secure. Defaults to {{uuid}}.webview.{{hostname}}.

Security Warnings

• Potentially Insecure Host Pattern

  When you change the host pattern via the THEIA_WEBVIEW_EXTERNAL_ENDPOINT environment variable warning will be emitted both from the frontend and from the backend. You can disable those warnings by setting warnOnPotentiallyInsecureHostPattern: false in the appropriate application configurations in your application's package.json.

Runtime System Plugin Resolvement

The backend application property resolveSystemPlugins is used to control the resolvement behavior for system plugins (builtins). The property is used to control whether or not extension-packs and extension-dependencies are resolved at runtime.
