Introduction
This tool allows you to add a number of add-ons to gvSIG such as languages, plugins, symbol sets or application aids.
Note
Some of this functionality is only available from Version 2.0 of the application onwards. In version 1.11 only installation of plugins is available.
Plugins can be added from disk (files of type .gvspkg and .gvspks) or from a repository over the Internet.
