Hi Glenn,
The solution is to use a Javascript Extension (JSX). See http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/SkinExtensionsTutoria l
Then you put the $jsx.use in your java macro.
This looks promising. From the context of a java macro is there any way to use the $jsx type references?
You'll need to create a MacroBlock with a name of velocity. -Vincent
It looks like the only thing a macro can do is return a List<Block> instance so I'm not sure it can affect the system header includes? Using a velocity page could work but seems klunky to have a plugin import pages into the wiki just to get a macro.
In the near future (2.0M1), you'll be able to write XWiki 2.0 syntax macros in wiki pages so it'll be more easy to write very UI-oriented macros.
Of course you can also write your macro as a Velocity macro right now in a Wiki page and attach the JXS object to that page.

I have a java macro that requires the page to include an external js (e.g. jQuery) that works best if included in the head section of the document. Is there a way for a macro to trigger inclusion of resources like this to be included in the page header? In confluence this was done by having a #requireResource statement in a velocity template included by the macro.
How can this be done in xwiki?
