That is exactly the point, I mean, you have linked 5 distinct pages
containing the information required for the development of a new extention
and it is not easy to find the right information inside the wiki . So in
the end yes, I think that everything should be written in a single page.
Sorry if I may sound irriverent, it is not my intention, I only would maje
suggestions to improve XWiki.
Thanks for your time and patience.
Giordano.

 Anyway this thing about the jdk should be written somewhere, like in the
 "how to develop a component" page. 
 Yes, I agree that we need to create a new page that explains how to build
 an extension to XWiki. Right now we have
 
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building but it’s dedicated
 to build XWiki from sources.
 Then we have several tutorials related to building various types of XWiki
 extensions such as:
 * Components:
 
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WritingComponents
 * Macro: 
http://rendering.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ExtendingMacro
 * etc.
 Then we also have explanations on how to contribute a new extension in
 xwiki-contrib:
 * 
http://contrib.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome.
 So I think all those pages would benefit from having a link to an external
 doc page named something like “Building your Extension”.
 WDYT?
 If you think this is useful I’ll work on such a page. Let me know.
 Regarding requirements, there’s a place ATM for running XWiki:
 
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation#HPrerequis…
