== Setup

=== Dependency Management

In your application's top level `pom.xml`, add a dependency for this module's own bill of materials (BOM):

[source,xml,subs="attributes+"]
.pom.xml
----
<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.causeway.extensions</groupId>
            <artifactId>causeway-extensions-cors</artifactId>
            <scope>import</scope>
            <type>pom</type>
            <version>{page-causewayprevv2}</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

[source,xml]
.pom.xml
----
<dependency>

    <artifactId>causeway-extensions-cors-impl</artifactId>
</dependency>
----

In your application's xref:userguide::modules.adoc#appmanifest[App Manifest], import the extension's implementation module:

[source,java]

})
public class AppManifest {
}
