I spelled it: {mymacro}
Are you using xwiki syntax 2.0 for that page?
If so the syntax is {{mymacro/}}
Yes, I tried that form as well. Is the 2.0 syntax automatically
recognized or is there a switch somewhere?
If you're asking this question is means you're not using xwiki syntax
2.0.... ;)
See
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/PageEditing for
how to use the 2.0 syntax.
You're right about the 2.0 syntax. After switching to 2.0 syntax I started getting
error messages on the macro code which proved helpful.
It turns out my problem was I had accidently made my constructor protected so it was
essentially unconstructable.
Thanks for the suggestions along the way. I have some more questions I'll ask with a
new thread.

Thanks

It must be something simple but I just can't
see where it's going
wrong. Is there an example zip of a java macro I could build to
test with?
