I'm pushing this thread up since we probably need an application descriptor
to know what is the current application (probably based on the current
space, but maybe not).
It's important because now we have an AppBar...
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10254
What I personally need:
- name of the application (already present as an UIX)
- icon of the application (already present as an UIX)
- list of pages of the application or a list of spaces
Do you have other things to add?
Thanks,
Guillaume

I've gathered some use cases / needs on this page:
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/ApplicationDescriptor
It would be nice to brainstorm a bit if we consider the 'Application
Descriptor' concept to be needed in our future, especially since the
Flamingo Skin is focused heavily on the Applications concept.
I would be curious why this concept has been deprecated (Application
Manager):
It hasn't been deprecated, it just never been in XE.

There is no such thing as application descriptor in Extension Manager.

I really don't see the point in having two indexes of extensions. This
is really not the main benefit we would get from an application
descriptor.
