We could tell people to create such descriptors for their applications if they're not
recognized in the EM UI (as a transitional and migration solution) or we could provide
these descriptors in updated versions of these apps, or both.
All this said, I don't think we need to support any of this:
* the user knows what apps he has installed on his wiki
* thus in the EM UI he can pick a version greater than the one he has installed locally
and install it over the existing pages. A new revision of the pages will be created. The
only issue is if the user has modified application pages and the way to solve it is by
manually merging the changes after having installed the new version.

If an app is made of say 5 pages for ex, you compute a single hash from those pages and
this hash identifies the version. Of course we would need to compute hashes for well-known
application/versions, store them on xwiki.org somewhere and have the EM read them from
there.
But it wouldn't work if pages have been modified which is why the second solution
below is better IMO **if** we want to support the transition.

It depends… :)
The EM will pick up all jars put in WEB-INF/lib or in the classpath in general.
However if you've installed pages from a XAR by importing it then no it won't
notice it (AFAIU - Thomas should confirm this).
It's a good point though, we might want to do something to handle this use case.
It's not that easy, there is no way to know that a wiki page is coming
from some application without talking of what is the id/version of
this application if it hasn't been installed by Extension Manager. * Based on an
Application Descriptor that the user would install and that lists all the pages making up
the application and by modifying the EM to support reading from these descriptors to find
installed apps
So not with existing applications which was the question. Thanks

Will there be a UI/functionality for removing previously installed extension? (Especially
in those cases when plugin installation required copying and container restart like
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Excel+Plugin )
Yes, this is already possible. The UI should already allow for this too.
If it has been installed by Extension Manager.
Since this is our very first release of an EM UI we would love to have some feedback, not
so much about the UI itself (we're not finished yet about what we want to achieve, see
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/ExtensionManager).
Sergiu: do we have support for merge conflicts and handling them in this first UI?
Thanks
