[opencms-dev] how to add XML content type to workplace menu?

[Matthew Fremont]

I've read a couple of emails from the archive which suggest that to add 
a new XML content type to the workplace structured content menu it is 
necessary to add type and explorertype definitions to opencms-modules.xml

I've noticed that opencms-vfs.xml also contains type definitions and 
opencms-workplace.xml contains explorertype definitions.

Which is the more appropriate place for these definitions: 
opencms-modules.xml or opencms-vfs.xml and opencms-workplace.xml?

Is opencms-modules.xml generated automatically by the system when 
modules are imported?

I've also found the same definitions in the manifest.xml file in the 
modules which define types. Can anyone point me to some documentation on 
how to create manifest.xml or how it is used by the system?


Thanks,

Matthew Fremont
