General
Code::Blocks' features can be extend by using plugins, most of them listed on this page. There are generally three types of plugins:
- Core plugins - developed and maintained by the core C::B team.
- Contrib plugins - developed and maintained by the community and proven to be very valuable. So they are integrated into the C::B SVN.
- 3rd party plugins - developed and maintained by the community but not (yet?) in the C::B repository. Theses plugins often have their own repository or are being posted (including the source code) in the forums.
If you are looking for plugins:
- Look in the official release. Notice that the installer / package manager might require you to enable some of the plugins specifically. So READ carefully.
- Search the forums for announcements, especially the forums at [/index.php/board,14.0.html].
- There might be information on the WiKi concerning other plugins on this page and here.
For Windows users, the default behavior of the current installer (20.03) installs the contrib plugins.
If you are developing plugins:
- Please read this page for creating and producing a plugin.
- You will need to store the source code for the plugin for other developers to have access to it. You can do this on SourceForge or Github or your favorite source code repository web site.
- Setup your own webpage on a file sharing platform that can be used for documenting and distribution of the plugin. This will allow users to download the plugin to install on their Code::Blocks installation.
Once you have a working and production ready plugin for other developers to use then you can do the following:
- Read this page for information on how to announce you have a plugin on the Code::Blocks forum.
- In your announcement in the forum please also ask for your plugin to be added to the Code::Blocks wiki plugin page with the details you would like to see on the page.
