Re: [xwiki-users] Migrating from 3.5 to 5.0.1 with large XAR

I just converted http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Large+XAR+Import to xwiki/2.x syntax. I did not heavily tested it so it's possible you get a groovy syntax error (if you do it's probably a \ missing around the line indicated in the error).
