Description

open-vsx: https://open-vsx.org/extension/vscode/extension-editing source code: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/tree/master/extensions/extension-editing

Extension provides JSON validations for language configurations, icon and color themes for VS Code extension developers. It does not provide content of schemas though, it should be implemented in the plugin system.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the Theia plugin system to understand how VS Code extensions are supported. Look at the extension editing source code from VS Code and identify the schemas and validations it provides. Determine the best way to integrate these validations into Theia's plugin mechanism, possibly by creating a new plugin or extending existing ones.
