[opencms-dev] Does anybody developing modules with jar-libs or are you using templateone.templates

[Holger Schick]

Hello all,
Well I send already some question to the mailing list but most them 
which contains questions to the manifest.xml or developing own modules 
which jar-files retrieve no answers.
Does anyone implements also for e.g own frontend templates or 
complicated templates like the templateone.frontend.modules template 
with own LayoutHandler?
If yes, how you go on. I think it's really complicated because  I 
couldn't find any very well documentation. Now I try to understand the 
CmsDefaultXmlContentHandler but it took me hours. Does anyone has the 
same problems or is there somewhere a good manuell how to expand the 
Default API?
My second big problem is the manifest.xml. Does anybody knows a good 
documentation about the configuration of the manifest.xml. Most probelms 
could be solved which exporting modules and look at those manifests but 
not all my problems could be solved this way and it takes very long.

It would be nice if someone could send my a few sentences about his 
experiences.

Thanks
Holger
