Hi All,
I am new to opencms, By using opencms i want to create a News and faq 
modules for this i downloded some opencms5.0 sample news module and 
Opencms5.0 faq modules which are using Contentdefination classes for 
creating news and faq on opencms. In that contentdefinationclasses they
are 
importing the classes are 

import org.opencms.main.CmsException;
import

com.opencms.defaults.A_CmsBackoffice; 
import

com.opencms.workplace.CmsXmlWpTemplateFile; 
import

com.opencms.template.A_CmsXmlContent; 
import

org.opencms.file.CmsObject; 
i am trying to complie the downloaded Contentdefination class while
compling 
it gives error like 

E:\news\NewsChannelContentDefinition.java:3: package com.opencms.core
does 
not exist
import com.opencms.core.*;
^
E:\news\NewsChannelContentDefinition.java:4: package com.opencms.file
does 
not exist 
import com.opencms.file.*;
^
E:\news\NewsChannelContentDefinition.java:5: package
com.opencms.templatedoes not exist
import com.opencms.template.*;
^
E:\news\NewsChannelContentDefinition.java:6: package
com.opencms.defaultsdoes not exist
import com.opencms.defaults.*;
^
some where i have seen that in opencms6.0 the package names have been 
changed and some classes are dpricated in opencms6.0 ,for example in 
opencms6.0 we don't have a A_CmsContentDefination class and
A_CmsBackoffice 
classes.

Some modules which i have seen they used using XML/XSD for creating news
and 
faqs articles .

I am confused how people have implemented these modules in v5.0 and in
v6.0. 
i.e to extends ContentDefinition class or go with xml/xsd . 

Currently i am using opencms6.0 ,can any one suggest me which of the
content 
definition approach be used and if any one having documetaion for this 
please send to me would much appriciated

Thanks & Regards,

Swamy
