#MAKE VISUAL STUDIO MARKETPLACE EXTENSION PUBLIC CODE#
Any individual or organization can influence how the Open VSX Registry evolves by participating in design discussions and contributing code to the Eclipse Open VSX project.No single company or vendor owns the Open VSX Registry servers, operates the service, or has more control over the service than any other participant.These vendor-neutral processes bring important benefits. They can even create an internal, private extension repository that’s connected to the upstream public Open VSX Registry.įollowing a true open source model, all aspects of the Open VSX Registry are guided by the community based on our proven governance framework and processes for entrepreneurial collaboration. The Eclipse Open VSX source code is open to all, so anyone can reuse and enhance the marketplace technology to meet their specific needs. It’s visually and functionally similar to the Microsoft VS Marketplace, but the extensions can be used with any editor that supports VS Code extensions - from VS Code and forks of VS Code like VSCodium, to Eclipse Theia, Eclipse Che, Gitpod, Coder, and SAP Business Application Studio. The Open VSX Registry is built on the Eclipse Open VSX project.
In addition, because Microsoft doesn’t provide access to the source code for the Visual Studio Marketplace, there’s no opportunity to contribute new features and enhancements, or to reuse the source code to create an internal extension registry for in-house developers. While the Microsoft Visual Studio Marketplace is a great resource for developers that use Microsoft VS products, its terms of use states that extensions can’t be used with the increasing number of open source tools and technologies that support the VS Code extension API. Overcoming Single-Vendor Marketplace Restrictions The move increases transparency and flexibility for extension users, extension publishers, and tool developers. With the transition of the Open VSX Registry from TypeFox to the Eclipse Foundation, the industry now has a vendor-neutral and publicly hosted open source alternative to the Microsoft Visual Studio Marketplace for VS Code extensions.
