MPS 2017.3 Help

Managing Plugins

Plugins are extensions to MPS core functionality. They provide the IDE integration with version control systems (VCS) and application servers, add support for various development technologies, frameworks and programming languages, and so on.

The more plugins are installed and enabled, the more features you have available. On the other hand, disabling unnecessary plugins may increase the IDE performance, especially on "less powerful" computers.

Certain plugins are independent, certain are not. Dependent plugins require other plugins to be enabled.

Categories of plugins

In relation to MPS, plugins may be attributed to one of the following categories:

Plugin repositories

MPS provides access to MPS Plugin Repository at Managing Plugins. You can also set up your own, enterprise plugin repositories, for example, to store plugins that you want to reserve for your company's internal use only. (A plugin repository corresponds to one or more Web servers.)
