Re: [xwiki-users] adding a custom jar / code

Does the new jar need to be a registered component? As indicated on this page http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WritingComponents I've even stripped out all of my single .java file to a single checkAuth function.. (which does nothing BTW) still same effect .. Tomcat won't start.. but, removing my jar tomcat starts right up. I set up the package using the mvn archetype:generate syntax on the above page.
