How to use Extras in an Equo app

To add Extras in an app you must do two things:

• Add repositories and build settings. Open cnf/build.bnd file in your app project and add https://dl.equoplatform.com/framework-extras/1.0/equobuild.bnd into the includes. It will look like this:

  -include: https://dl.equoplatform.com/framework/1.0/equobuild.bnd,\
              https://dl.equoplatform.com/framework-extras/1.0/equobuild.bnd
  

• Enable Extras in your app. Open the bnd.bnd file of your app and add https://dl.equoplatform.com/framework-extras/1.0/extras.bnd into the -include sentence.

  The file will look like this:

  -include: https://dl.equoplatform.com/framework/1.0/equoapp.bnd,\
            https://dl.equoplatform.com/framework-extras/1.0/extras.bnd
