A review of some plugins

Can Redmine be used without plugins? Surely it can. Is Redmine thorough without plugins? I'm not sure whether it is—I haven't seen a Redmine installation that does not use any plugins. Anyway, if you can extend your installation with features that you need, why not do this?

Of course, we won't be able to review all the available plugins in this chapter. Therefore, we'll start with the ones that I believe are essential for any Redmine installation. Then we'll check a plugin that implements a highly anticipated feature that is missing in the Redmine core. Finally, we'll review plugins that are discussed by experienced Redmine users most often.

So, let's check out what amazing things can be done with some plugins. Under this section, we will review:

• The Exception Handler plugin

• The jsToolbar CodeRay Extension

• The Monitoring and Controlling plugin

• The Git Hosting plugin

• The Agile plugin
