That FAQ entry is a little incomplete.
1. For those rules and using the D2WCustomComponent wrapper that is all you
need to do. The custom component does not need to extend any specific class.
2. If you want to create a true d2w component, that you can specify with one
rule:
100: pageConfiguration = "ListTheEntity" and propertyKey =
"theProperty" => componentName = "MyD2WCustomComponent"
Then I would recommend subclassing one of the ERDCustom*Component classes. They
give you all of the methods/helpers needed to make that easy for you (though
this assumes you would be willing to invest a little in figuring out how they
are used).
