Plugin Repository Maven Interface

You can download a plugin update from the plugin repository using a Maven interface available at https://plugins.jetbrains.com/maven.

URL format is the following:

https://plugins.jetbrains.com/maven/<channel>/com/jetbrains/plugins/<plugin_xml_id>/<version>/<plugin_xml_id>-<version>.<extension>

Where

• plugin_xml_id is an unique Plugin XML ID specified on the right of the plugin's individual updade page or in the plugin.xml;

• version is a full update version;

• channel is a release channel the update is published to (empty channel means default Stable channel);

• extension is a plugin update package extension (.jar or .zip).

E.g. to download VueJs plugin version 1.0.1 you should send request at https://plugins.jetbrains.com/maven/com/jetbrains/plugins/vue.js/1.0.1/vue.js-1.0.1.jar.

Also, you can use Gradle or Maven to retrieve a plugin as a maven-dependency:

• groupId is either <channel>.com.jetbrains.plugins or com.jetbrains.plugins for Stable channel;

• artifactId is pluginXmlId (pluginXmlId is specified as a Plugin XML ID parameter on the right of the plugin's individual update page);

build.gradle

repositories {
  maven { url 'https://plugins.jetbrains.com/maven' }
}
 
dependencies {
  compile 'com.jetbrains.plugins:<plugin_xml_id>:<version>' // for the plugin from Stable channel
  compile '<channel>.com.jetbrains.plugins:<plugin_xml_id>:<version>' // for the plugin from non-default channel
}
