Add-ons

Jmix does not only provide a platform to build your applications upon. It also contains an ecosystem of add-ons that enrich the core functionality. A lot of add-ons are provided by the Jmix team, while others are contributions from the community.

Jmix add-ons are published on the Jmix marketplace. You can browse and install them directly in Studio as described below. To publish your own open-source add-on to the marketplace, see Publishing an Add-on.

Installation

Follow the instructions below to install add-ons into your project automatically. If you want to install an add-on manually by editing build scripts, see the documentation of the particular add-on.
