General guide for developing extensions

• Familiarize yourself with SCA 1.0 Assembly and the SCA Java 1.0 programming model. Specifications can be found at www.osoa.org.
• Never reference any classes in core. These classes are implementation-specific and subject to change; they are not part of the public SPI contract.
• Use autowire when assembling extension components.
• Do not play with classloaders such as setting the current context classloader unless it is absolutely necessary, i.e. a library used by an extension makes assumptions about context classloaders. Ideally the library can be refactored to not make these assumptions. If not, make sure the extension properly resets the current context classloader.
