I'm having a difficult time adding a java macro and getting it to get invoked.
I first found this page and created my class and created a META-INF/ plexus/components.xml per the 'tutorial' here: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/Tutorial+to+Write+a+Macro+in +the+new+rendering+engine
I then found this tutorial for components (http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WritingComponents ) and created a META-INF/components.txt file and added an @Component("mymacro") annotation to the macro implementation.
Both ways are correct. The annotation way is the newer way of doing it though.
However, I am unable to get my macro code to get called when pages are rendered.
What version of XE are you using?
I'm using XE 1.8.2
What error do you get?
I don't get any error at all. The macro just shows up on the page as I spelled it: {mymacro}
Are you using xwiki syntax 2.0 for that page? If so the syntax is {{mymacro/}}
Is there an easy way to list recognized components?
From java yes, from velocity no. From java just implement Composable and call lookupList(Macro.ROLE) on the component manager. Thanks -Vincent [snip]
