What it does

Monaco Editor Engine

The exact same engine that powers VS Code — syntax highlighting, a familiar dark theme and the shortcuts you already know.

Velocity Template Highlighting

First-class support for Polarion's Velocity dialect — .vm, .vtl, .fhtml and page.xml all get full syntax highlighting.

File Explorer Sidebar

Browse the full Polarion SVN repository in a sidebar, scoped to the current project. Create, rename and delete files in place.

Multi-Tab Editing

Open multiple files as tabs. Drag to reorder. Unsaved changes are tracked, the editor warns before you navigate away.

Image Preview

Click any PNG, JPG, GIF, SVG or WebP file to open it in the built-in image viewer. See exactly what your assets look like.

Built-in REST API

Every file operation is exposed via a REST API at /polarion/code-editor/api/ — list, read, save, rename, delete from CI or scripts.

01

Download the JAR

02

Drop into plugins/

03

Installing the wrong JAR prevents the plugin from loading — double-check the suffix matches your Polarion version.
