This sounds a lot like what the
"Packager" application already in the
CodeZone does...
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...

Hi Vincent
+1
I think it would be great if applications have an "active" field
and
have a "translations" field which would be parsed by XWiki to load
translations. This is the first need I see which would help
deployment.
Once it sufficiently documented we should deprecate the Packager
that is
published on
xwiki.org
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 :)
