Installing plugins in JetBrains Fleet

Question

Hey guys I was trying out Fleet and really liked it but I had a hard time configuring it. I wanted to install a plugin but I couldn't find an option to add plugin anywhere.

Does anyone know how to install plugins in JetBrains Fleet?

Answer 1

I wanted to install a plugin but I couldn't find an option to add plugin anywhere.

That's because Fleet does not support custom (non-bundled) plugins yet (as of October 2022).

Does Fleet support plugins?

Fleet will have its own extensibility model, and we are also looking into the option of re-using existing IntelliJ-platform plugins for Fleet. We will provide more information about these extensibility options at a later date.

At the same time, we’re working in the following areas:

• API support and an SDK for plugin authors – Given that Fleet has a distributed architecture, we need to work on simplifying the approach for plugin authors. While we guarantee that we’ll be providing a platform for extending Fleet, we do ask for a bit more patience in this area.
