Yes, I am not creating a macro so I plan to delete the extra files(which are generated using archetype) which will not be required for this. For this, I think I will also have to modify the pom. I am following this guide http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WritingComponents I am already following the pattern similar to WikiWord Transformation. So, according to you, I should simply create a maven project, without using the archetype with a jar packaging, and then follow the pattern of WikiWord Transformation.

Also, I am not able to think of how will I use this component in taking glossary items from the glossary space. For the component to be accessible on wiki pages, I would have to write a ScriptService.

But, I am not getting the idea, how would I use that script for glossary items already present in glossary space?( This may be confusing for you!!)

Some hints required......... Rest of the things like scanning the wiki pages and creating links to the glossary items will not be that difficult I suppose.

I am little new to this, please guide me a little.
