Currently the marketplace shows me only one Prolog
plugin, but it rather adresses gprolog than SWI-Prolog.
Strange I think there were more. But if plugins don’t

get maintained they often become incompatible.
I didn’t try the below yet, seems to be new!

https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/20982-prologcode

So only I Prolog tries to tap into a company like
JetBrains that has profit of at least 200 million USD
per year, with a growth of 5 - 7% per year.

Prologers are all communists I guess.

P.S.: The plugin seems to be from Switzerland.
But it wasn’t me! PrologCode is a plugin for IntelliJ
IDEA that provides support for the Prolog language.

Specifically, it provides:

Prolog syntax highlighting
Prolog code completion
Prolog code folding
Prolog code navigation

Three different ways to run a GNU Prolog REPL
Real-time background syntax checking.

Initially, this plugin was developed as part of
a project for the course “Programmation
logique” at HEIA-FR.
