Some of this is at least lightly documented on the wiki:
http://noxrepo.org/noxwiki/index.php/Developing_in_NOX
(Please feel free to extend it!)
There's a bit more info about the meta files in the FAQ:
http://noxrepo.org/noxwiki/index.php/FAQ#Where_can_I_see_and_edit_the_code_that_corresponds_to_different_NOX_components.3F
Really quickly and informally, the meta files (formerly meta.xml, now
meta.json) are what really specify a NOX component. Specifically, they:
1. Define a component name (name key). These are the names that, for
example, can be specified on the nox_core commandline.
2. Specify which code corresponds to a component (library and python keys).
A component may be a shared library or a Python module or both. NOX will load
the specified library/module, and execute a factory in order to get an actual
component instance (the mechanism for this is somewhat different in Python and
in C++). You only need to specify the library/module where this factory comes
from.
3. Specify dependencies (dependencies key). This is a list of other
components which this component relies on. NOX will attempt to load these
automatically.
Hope that helps.

Hi,
it's me again :)
I was able to import my python files. They needed to be added to the
NOX_RUNTIMEFILES and EXTRA_DIST in my Makefile.am, so that the links from the
build directory were established.
So that problem is solved, but I would love to have some docs about those
meta.json files.
Greetings

Hi,
I'm am wondering about the syntax and sematic of the meta.json files. I
cannot find anything about it in the wiki and the mailinglists.
The problem is a fairly easy one: I have written a python component and
splitted it up in several files, but I cannot import those files. I tried
various permutations of the import statement and nothing worked.
Can you give me a hint where I can find valuable information about the NOX
build system? Do I have to add my *.py files (which I only want to use in my
component) to Makefile.am and meta.json?
Thanks in advance
Bernd
