7.1 | 5 | As you've learned from the [[Programming feature>>Features.Programming]] it's possible to put code inside XWiki pages. You can combine several pages together to form an application. In other words an application is simply a self-contained set of XWiki pages. You can export these pages into a single archive file named a XAR (it stands for XWiki Archive) which can then be imported again into other wikis. This is a very nice way to create reusable applications. |

| |

23.3 | 37 | Check the [[Extensions wiki>>extensions:Main.WebHome]] which lists all applications available that you can install in your wiki. |
| |
1.4 | 38 | |
| |
22.1 | 39 | == Creating new Applications == |
| |
18.1 | 40 | |
| 41 | If you'd like to create new applications with XWiki our [[Developer's Guide>>http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/]] will help you through the process. | ||
| |
22.1 | 42 | If you are interested in participating to the XWiki project development itself or in building it from sources, you should refer to the [[Community wiki>>http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/]]. |
| 43 | If you still have questions you may [[subscribe to the mailing lists>>http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/MailingLists]]. | ||

| |
22.1 | 45 | =Plugins= |
| 46 | |||
| 47 | Plugins are a powerful way to extend XWiki's intrinsic features. Actually lots of the XWiki features you can see are brought by plugins bundled with the XWiki distributions. | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | == Using a Plugin == | ||
| 50 | |||
| |
23.2 | 51 | First check the [[Extensions wiki>>extensions:Main.WebHome]] to find a Plugin you'd like to use. Then copy its JAR (Plugins are bundled as JARs) into your XWiki installation: drop it in XWiki WAR's //WEB-INF/lib// directory. You'll need to restart XWiki for it to take effect. Please note that this is an administrative task so you'll want to ask your wiki admin for help in doing this. |
