What you have in XE_WAR_HOME/WEB-INF/lib is loaded by

startup, there is not much XWiki can do about it.
But you can install your jar as an extension using Extension Manager
as long as it's on some supported repository (which mean a Maven
repository or XWiki repository, see
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Repository+Application
for this last one) and you indicate your repository in
xwiki.properties.
Note that Extension Manager is not the best fit right now to test
snapshot jars since it does not have the required special handling of
SNAPSHOT needed to update to a new version of the same SNAPSHOT
version.

Having been put off writing Java components a
number of times I've decided to really tackle the problem head on. I would greatly
appreciate any help in this.
I've been following the advice in
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WritingComponents and I have compiled a
Jar identical to the Hello World example except that the class and method names differ,
hopefully consistently. I've placed the jar in XE_WAR_HOME/WEB-INF/lib and written a
page, which consists only of
{{velocity}}
$services.mycomponent.greet()
{{/velocity}}
The output when viewed is simple "$services.alertdb.greet()", so nothing seems
to have happened. However, if I restart Tomcat (and then wait a minute or so for XWiki to
restart) the output is "Hello", as desired.
So is a restart of Tomcat always required? This wasn't mentioned in the guide. And
since extensions can be added via the extension manager without a restart, is there a
sneaky trick to doing the same with my own components.
Also, is a restart necessary when I update the Jar, either with fixed methods or modified
interface?
