Hi,
My first need when I made this application manager was to be able to
organize an entire wiki as applications tree with the wiki itself as
top application to easily manage wiki template and share applications
between wikis.
Export an application is just a useful feature of this application
manager, not the main goal. To do this export I simply looked at how
the Administration Import/Export pages do and then use the internal
xwiki package plugin.

I should ammend, it interacts w/ the packager
plugin that's already
part of the base:
com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.packaging...
Right, it's just an extension of it that adds an Application
Descriptor and API to manage it.
It's an early implementation of http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/
Design/ApplicationManager

This sounds a lot like what the
"Packager" application already in the
CodeZone does...
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Code/PackagerApplication
I assume you'd be basing partly on that, rather than starting from
scratch?
I've made minor changes to the Application since I d/led it... but
the
PackageClass is essentially the ApplicationDescriptor, and there
already is an Export page which takes care of exporting the
documents.
It's currently based on a text-field list of documents.. with the
Applications I manage, it works just fine, as I know the documents in
the application, and include the Package document w/in the xar I
export.
I was going to add a variant of the Export document that will do a
query based on the space, and generate a xar based on the result of
the query...

Vincent forgot to say that Application Manager also support
"translation" pages in the descriptor that are, for now, updated in
XWikiPreferences when installing or reload application :)
