Developer Guide

The Developer Guide explains how to extend Scroll with your own plugins.

To develop a Scroll plugins it is highly recommended to make yourself familiar with Confluence plugin development. To do so, we recommend the Confluence Development Hub.

Overview

This is a quick overview for how to implement a Scroll plugin:

1. Create standard Confluence Plugin, as described in the Atlassian SDK Documentation. This requires the following steps:
   1. Download Atlassian SDK.
   2. Setup the Atlassian SDK (includes installation of Java 1.5 or Java 6).
   3. Create a Plugin-Skeleton using atlas-create-confluence-plugin.
2. Create an Atlassian plugin descriptor (atlassian-plugin.xml) like this:

   <atlassian-plugin key=....>
   :
   <resource type="scroll-plugin" name="My Scroll Plugin" location="scroll-plugin.xml" />
   :
   </atlassian-plugin>

3. Create the Scroll Plugin descriptor called scroll-plugin.xml and put it next to the atlassian-plugin.xml. More information about the Scroll Plugin descriptor.
4. Deploy the plugin like a Confluence plugin (of course, you need to have Scroll installed, too)
