Currently this is my process:

1. download the XEM war
2. unzip the file into my jetyt/webapps folder
3. configure hibernate.cfg.xml
4. in the xwiki.cfg set the ldap part(server, user, group), the stat part, 
virtual part, lucene part
5. in the xwiki.properties set OpenOffice part
6. in the xwiki itself , set the Alias for default name, the smtp server.
7. adjust some skins modifications, script modifications.

Several times I tryed to copy directly the file but I got a crash (some 
properties in hybernate file change, new properties definition in the 
xwiki.cfg...).

Points 4 to 7 consume time.
I understand that the automatic process is complex (for example to change the 
script...) I will have a look on the ExtensionManager.
Thx for your answer !

Could you list the tasks that take time? (I have some idea but would be 
interested to know what you think is painful in the upgrade process).

Note: In the future we've planned to implement an extension manager, see

Thanks
