Migrating plugins

This section describes how to migrate plugins to a v2.x devfile.

Additionally, v2.x devfiles include the following new features:

• Parents allow users to reuse an existing devfile and partially replace plugin functionality.

• Eclipse Che IDEs and their tooling can be specified as attributes in a v2.x devfile or in a distinct YAML file, for example: .che/che-editor.yaml or .che/che-theia-plugin.yaml.

For more information on plugins in v2.x devfiles, go to the following GitHub issues:

• Devfile plugins not suited to specify Che-Theia plugins

• Che editors and Che-Theia plugins support in v2.x devfile

• Plugins' replacement
