I've found the ability to write small Groovy scripts as components has been very handy and simpler than writing full extensions in Java. For utilities that I don't wish to make into public extensions the burden of a small Groovy script into a proper extension seems prohibitive (although that may just be that I haven't written one yet, and I'm just a walker at the bottom of a hill complaining about how high it looks...). Last time I asked there is was no simple way to install private extensions. Also, I didn't have much luck writing a proper component in Groovy, which I sometimes prefer to Java. _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
