Thanks for the help Vincent. I have the basics of a "My First Extension" tutorial by example. https://github.com/cjdelisle/my-first-xwiki-extension (It's very important to me that developing installable extensions be simple and intuitive)
I'm trying to allow the user to deploy their extension to a local directory within their git repository and then they could push that to github or equivalent and import without having to ask that their key be included in maven.xwiki.org and deploying where they could break something. It seems to work: https://raw.github.com/cjdelisle/my-first-xwiki-extension/master/repo/org/xwiki/commons/my-first-xwiki-extension/maven-metadata.xml Where I'm hitting a wall is on the import phase, I need to be able to import from an arbitrary m2 repo in order for this technique to work. Is this possible with the EM as it is now?
