That is exactly the point, I mean, you have linked 5 distinct pages containing the information required for the development of a new extention and it is not easy to find the right information inside the wiki . So in the end yes, I think that everything should be written in a single page. Sorry if I may sound irriverent, it is not my intention, I only would maje suggestions to improve XWiki. Thanks for your time and patience. Giordano. Il 12/dic/2015 11:57, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> ha scritto:

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:

PS 1: Don’t reply to me please. Instead reply to the list. Thanks PS 2: Next time please use the users lists, the devs list is for people developing the xwiki project. See http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/MailingLists which says clearly: “For XWiki development itself (to be used by Committers and Contributors to the XWiki development)."

It ended in a compilation error because in my component I used jdk 8 then stuff like lambda expression and multi-catch that "are not supported in -source 1.6" ... sorry but I don't have a clue of what is happened.

This probably means that you have not told Maven where to find artifacts, i.e. you have not configured the Maven Remote repository locations.
See http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building
