Hi, I've been working on UI extensions lately and those extensions are implemented as components. To be able to have components both defined from java code and from wiki documents I've worked on the xwiki-platform-component-wiki module started by Jerome a while ago. The initial design is described here: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/WikiComponents
In addition the module allows other modules to easily synchronize java components with content coming from XObjects. To do so you need to implement WikiComponent [1] and WikiComponentBuilder [2]. Then a manager will automatically unregister/register your components whenever it's required: when the wiki starts, when a document is updated, deleted, etc. In order to commit the UI extension module I need xwiki-platform-component-wiki to be moved to platform.
