Thank you Thomas and Guillaume for the help. This helped me a lot. Firstly our application is just collection of classes, all the velocity code is written in vm templates, so as to speed the page rendering. Thus this application would work against a specific skin only. Anyway if all goes well then we may be able to launch it as a portal by end of the year. I have some additional queries and would be grateful to you for throwing some light on these: 1. What is the purpose of Dependencies field of the application? 2. What is the difference between Documents, Documents to include and Documents to link fields? What is the purpose of each and how to decide which document goes in which placeholder. 3. What is the purpose of Applications field of the application? Regards Sachin Thomas Mortagne wrote:

Hi Sachin,
I recently created an application in xwiki.
Great :-) Will you consider publishing it on http://code.xwiki.org/ for the community to enjoy it ?

However, one cannot choose the documents from any link, one has to type it. Now there are many classes and objects I would like to package and it would not be possible for me to remember each document's name. So is there any better way of doing this with or without application manager app.
Right now there is no alternative to typing each document name manually... I know how annoying it is, I constantly forgot to add one of the 15 pages I had in the Bulletin Board Application... And I guess it must be the same for you, maybe with even more pages.
A good way not to forget any page is to go to the /xwiki/bin/view/Main/AllDocs page and then use the treeview for the aeternam space. Then you can copy all your children docs, paste them in the field, and start removing those that don't interest you. A bit long, but at least you'll forget none of them...
Application Manager also support pattern based on SQL LIKE syntax (see http://www.techonthenet.com/sql/like.php) : - [SpaceName.%] will include all pages in the sapce SpaceName - [%.MyApp%] will include all pages starting with MyApp
You can look at Application Manager application descriptor as an example.
(I'm adding this documentation in the application manager page.)
If you simply need a one shot selective export you can use the groovy script provided by Admin application. See http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/AdminApplication
