[Question] where to install a ".theia" plugin

[fiurthorn]

I've created a the hello-world-backend-plugin und got a theia file.

I try to install the plugin in via the home folder. But i doesn't loaded.

VS Code have the option "install from VSIX" to install manual downloaded Extentions.

I try to install the plugin in via the home folder. But i doesn't loaded.

it is not supported yet, certainly it would be interesting to support for Electron with custom product name, i.e. ~/.mytheiaproduct/plugins.

You can use THEIA_DEFAULT_PLUGINS to specify a directory with plugins, for instance THEIA_DEFAULT_PLUGINS=local-dir:~/.mytheiaproduct/plugins
