Sorry if I used a wrong mailing list,
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…
Thanks

Giordano.
