The contributions update center is based on a googlecode project for contributed plugins which will be automatically compiled, version-labeled and added to the contributions update center like the core jMonkeyEngine SDK plugins.</p></div>
- <div class="paragraph"><p>Effectively its one large module suite with multiple modules which each represent one plugin, extension library.</p></div>
- <div class="sect2"><h3 id="adding-your-plugin-to-the-repository">Adding your plugin to the repository</h3><div class="paragraph"><p>To add your plugin to the repository, do the following:</p></div>

- <div class="paragraph"><p>And thats it, from now on each time you commit changes to your module it will be built and added to the contributions center automatically and the version number will be extended by the svn revision number (e.g. 0.8.1.1234)</p></div></div>
- <div class="sect2"><h3 id="building-wrapped-library-jar-files-on-the-server">Building wrapped library jar files on the server</h3><div class="paragraph"><p>You can just build your library locally and update and commit the jar file and javadoc/sources zip files to the <code>release/libs</code> folder of your plugin in the contrib repo. The users plugins will automatically be updated with the new jar files. You can however also build the library project on the server.</p></div>
- <div class="paragraph"><p>As normally only the module project is being built on the server, any projects that create the actual jar files for library plugins (“normal projects from the SDK/NetBeans) have to be built from the module build file. To do that simply add the following ant targets to the module build file (adapt to your project file and folder names):</p></div>
