    -- curl -s http://localhost:8080/dashboard/api/editors | jq -r '[.[] | "\(.metadata.attributes.publisher)/\(.metadata.name)/\(.metadata.attributes.version)"]'

  2. Configure the defaultEditor:

    kubectl patch checluster/eclipse-che \
    --namespace eclipse-che \
    --type='merge' \
    -p '{"spec":{"devEnvironments":{"defaultEditor": "<default_editor>"}}}'(1)
