Plugins are used by the snapcraft command to build a snap from parts defined within snapcraft.yaml.
Commonly used plugins include Python, Go, Java, cmake and autotools, and these help when working with projects written in a specific language or with a specific set of build tools.
These, and many other plugins, are included with Snapcraft, all of which can be listed with the following command:
snapcraft list-plugins
If the working directory contains a Snapcraft project, the default behaviour is to show only the plugins available for either its specified base or the latest available supported base.
To list plugins specific to a defined base, run the following command:
$ snapcraft list-plugins --base core22
