Hi Nicolas, Typically, the flow is the following: 1. You create a page and the markup (wiki syntax + additional HTML if you need form UI elements or if you can not reuse property displayers from velocity, e.g. $doc.display('someProperty', 'edit') [1] ) 2. You add a skin extension [2] object to that document where you add your CSS and JS needs 3. Inside that JSX object you can depend on 3rd party libraries using the recommended require.js approach [3] or anything else that suites you 4. Profit More such information is available on the dev guide's tutorials and resources page [4]. Hope this helps, Eduard P.S.: Regarding javascript, be aware that we are currently moving away from Prototype.js and towards jQuery, but a lot of documentation still talks about how to do things with Prototype.js, you just need to digg deep enough to find the jQuery alternatives, figure them out, ask people for help and, document back your findings (on xwiki.org pages) so that you can help others in your same situation :) ---------- [1] http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/API [2] http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Skin+Extension+Plugin [3] http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/JavaScriptAPI#HRequireJSa… [4] http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/ On Mon, Mar 23, 2015 at 5:33 PM, Nicolas Delsaux <nicolas.delsaux(a)gmx.fr> wrote: _______________________________________________ users mailing list users(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

It's just that the simple search is supported only with XWiki repositories like http://extensions.xwiki.org. If you want to install a jar from any of the maven repositories registered you can use "Advanced Search" and indicate the exact id and version you want to install it. As far as I know Groovy grapes automatically download and load jar you declare as long as ivy is provided and XWiki embeds Ivy (it's actually embedding it only for this reason since we don't use it directly). Not sure where it search by default but I guess it should find any Maven Central jar.

Thanks for all your replies, Vincent and Thomas. I'm quite ... worried by the fact to directly put my webjars dependencies in WEB-INF/lib, directly or through "Advanced Search", as it would prevent me to have explicit link between the JS lib and the place where it is used. What I fear is the WEB-INF/lib folder becoming kind of messy, with all JS dependencies dropped there without proper usage identification, and a zealous sysadmin coming there and purging the folder aggresively. Have you got any kind of best practices to avoid that ?

If you’re doing dev and writing an extension for your code then all you need is add a dependency to the webjar in your extension’s POM and then install it through the Extension Manager and it won’t go in WEB-INF/lib :)
