Re: "supplying JavaScript resources"

There are numerous areas that you can extend the Nexus UI, we really should put together a wiki doc for this, just a matter of time ;)

But the simplest contribution, is to introduce a new left navigation item and the panel it opens, which can be done as follows in your javascript file

Sonatype.repoServer.MyPanel = function( config ) {
//your panel config
};

Ext.extend(Sonatype.repoServer.MyPanel, Ext.Panel, {
//your extension to the Panel object
});

Sonatype.Events.addListener( 'nexusNavigationInit', function( nexusPanel ) {
nexusPanel.add( {
    enabled: Sonatype.lib.Permissions.checkPermission( 'nexus:myperm', Sonatype.lib.Permissions.READ ),
    sectionId: 'st-nexus-config',
    title: 'My Panel',
    tabId: 'my-panel',
    tabCode: Sonatype.repoServer.MyPanel
} );
} );

This is simply listening for the nexusNavigationInit event, and adding navigation items to the panel

You can disregard enabled field if you want always visible or you could tie to existing nexus privilege

sectionId should point to the left nav section you want your item in (you can find them all in repoServer/RepoServer.js)

tabId must be unique

tabCode should be the name of your panel object

And of course you have the existing panels we have that you can browse for extjs examples (along w/ the extjs site, which has great samples and documentation)

There are other contributions that can be made, but this is probably the one that is most commonly used.

Should get you started

Hi,

yes. You can stack all of yours "static" resources under
src/main/resources/static (the last part "static" is not mandatory):
http://scm.sonatype.org/repobrowser.svn?path=/trunk/nexus/nexus-core-plugins/nexus-lvo-plugin/src/main/resources/&revision=HEAD&name=Nexus

And then you need to create a NexusResourceBundle component with some
unique hint:
http://scm.sonatype.org/showfile.svn?path=/trunk/nexus/nexus-core-plugins/nexus-lvo-plugin/src/main/java/org/sonatype/nexus/plugins/lvo/LvoResourceBundle.java&revision=HEAD&name=Nexus

The getContributedResouces() will just "mount" it to the 2nd param path.

And you have a set of methods where to "contribute" to the index.xml
(if needed).

About actually extending the UI with JS code I can't tell too much :) Damian?

That's all.
