Packaging Extensions with Extension Manager CS5

This document describes how to package extensions with Extension Manager CS5. The

development and creation of extensions is covered in other documents.

To package extensions, you need to do the following:

1Choose the extension package format

2Create the extension installation file

3Create the extension package from the Extension Manager user interface or command line.

In this document, most instructions are for the command-line interface. See Use Extension

Manager from the command line.

For information on packaging extensions using the Extension Manager user interface, see Use

Extension Manager from the graphical user interface (GUI).

Choose the extension package format 5

Choose the extension package format

Extension Manager CS5 supports various extension formats.

Extensions can be packaged into two file formats:

•MXP extensions (with filename extension .mxp) for CS4 and earlier.

•ZXP extensions (with filename extension .zxp) for CS5. The ZXP format is based on the ZIP

standard, and extensions in this format can be digitally signed to verify the identity of the

extension author. For more information, see Creating a ZXP extension package

(version 5.0 only) on page 56

From extension function perspective, there are three kinds of extensions:

•Ordinary extensions:

Any Adobe product-specific extension or plug-in that extends the functionality of an Adobe

application— such as a Dreamweaver extension or a Photoshop C++ plug-in. Ordinary

extensions were previously packaged as MXP files with Extension Manager CS4 or before, and

they require an extension installation (.mxi) file.

•Creative Suite extensions (hereafter called CS extensions):

Flash-based extensions that can be installed and run in multiple Creative Suite applications,

built using the Creative Suite SDK. A CS extension must be a ZXP file, but it doesn't require

an extension installation (.mxi) file. You can’t create a CS extension with Extension Manager,

but such an extension can be installed or removed by Extension Manager CS5.

•Hybrid extensions:

A package that contains both files that can be contained in an ordinary extension and a CS

extension. Hybrid extensions are used when the feature developed needs both a Creative Suite

Flash-based component and a native C++ plug-in or script file. This allows developers to build

extensions with rich Flash-based interfaces and still take advantage of the extended native

integration with the application. For more information, see Creating Hybrid Extension

packages (version 5.0 only) on page 57.

Consider the following when determining whether to use the ZXP or MXP format to package

your extensions:

•If you want to create an ordinary extension, you can use either ZXP or MXP.

•If your extension is not designed for CS4 and earlier, you should use ZXP.

•If you want to create a hybrid extension, you should use ZXP.

•If you want to digitally sign the extension, you must use ZXP. Fore more information, see

Creating a ZXP extension package (version 5.0 only) on page 56

For information on digitally signing extensions, refer to the Creative Suite SDK:

6 Packaging Extensions with Extension Manager CS5

Create the extension installation file

An extension installation file is an XML file (with the extension .mxi) that provides the following

information about the extension for Extension Manager:

•extension name and version number

•information about each file included in the extension, including where each file is installed

•information about how users access the extension from an Adobe application, such as product-

specific information about menu items or other user interface items to add

•information about language-specific files for multilingual extensions

•information about update information for updatable extension packages

When you create your extension installation file, give it a filename that is valid on both Windows

and Mac OS, which is no more than 20 characters long, and contains no spaces.

This section describes the tags used in the installation file. For a list of each tag and compatible

Adobe applications, see Tags and their compatible products on page 51. After reading

about these tags, you can examine the sample installation file in the Extension Manager’s Samples

folder, or you can make a copy of the blank installation file and fill in values for the attributes.

This section contains the following:

•About careful XML coding on page 7

•MXI tag summary on page 7

•MXI tag descriptions on page 9

•Tags and their compatible products on page 51

•Example MXI file on page 53

•Creating multilingual extension packages (version 2.1 and later) on page 54

•Creating a ZXP extension package (version 5.0 only) on page 56

•Creating Hybrid Extension packages (version 5.0 only) on page 57

•Creating plug-in extension packages for InDesign CS5 and InCopy CS5 (version

5.0 only) on page 58

•Creating updatable extension packages (version 5.0 only) on page 59

MXI tag summary 7

About careful XML coding

XML files have fairly strict syntax requirements. When you’re creating or editing an extension

installation file, make sure that you use correct XML syntax:

•Every attribute value must be enclosed in a single pair of double quotation marks. For example,

version = 1.0.0 and version = ""1.0.0"" are both incorrect syntax; instead, use

version = "1.0.0".

•A tag defined as an empty tag (a tag with no contents) must end with />. Do not include any

spaces between the slash and the closing angle bracket.

•Each attribute name must be preceded by a space (or other form of white space). In particular,

if you use more than one attribute in a tag, you must put a space between each attribute’s value

and the next attribute’s name.

•XML does not support special characters such as ampersands (&). To include an ampersand

within a tag, you must use the code &amp (for instance, to use ampersands in menu items or

other UI elements).

Encoding characters

If Extension Manager 5.0 can't get the explicit encoding information from the MXI file,

Extension Manager assumes that the MXI is encoded with the operating system default code

page. To avoid confusion, it is recommended to encode MXI with UTF-8 and explicitly declare

the encoding of MXI as UTF-8.

To declare that the MXI is encoded with UTF-8, do the following:

•(Windows) Put the UTF-8 representation of the BOM at the head of the MXI file. The easiest

way to make sure of the presence of the BOM is to open the MXI file with Windows built-in

program Notepad and select File > Save As, then set Encoding as UTF-8. Note that it is not

enough to just specify <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

•(Mac OS) Put the UTF-8 encoding declaration at the head of the MXI file. It is <?xml

version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>.

MXI tag summary

The following table lists the primary tags available in the MXI file, briefly describes each tag, and

specifies whether the tag contains child tags. Use this table to get an overview of what tags are

available and what functions they perform.

10 Packaging Extensions with Extension Manager CS5

macromedia-extension

Description

Main tag for extension installation file.

Attributes

id, name, version, {type}, {requires-restart}, {ismultilingual}, {name_resid},

{plugin-manager-type}, {show-files}, {force-quit}

id A unique extension ID, to be created by Adobe after you submit your extension. Never add

or modify this attribute yourself.

name The name of the extension. This must be a VARCHAR data type with a limit of 255

characters.

version The version number of the extension, in the format a{.b{.c}}, where a, b, and care

all positive integers. For example, valid version numbers include 1.3.6, and 10.0.1. The first

number is the major version number, incremented when you make substantial changes to the

extension; the second number is the minor version number, incremented for smaller changes. The

third number is incremented for each new “build” of the extension between releases; for example,

after you submit version 4.1 of your extension to Adobe, it may be returned to you for minor

corrections. You might label the fixed version 4.1.1; after a couple of rounds of corrections, the

version number of the posted extension might be 4.1.3.

mxiversion Attribute for version 5.0 that degrades gracefully. Indicates the version of the MXI

specification. Extension Manager 5.0 supports mxiversion 5.0 and earlier. If mxiversion is

unspecified, the default value is 1.0.

Note: If the specified mxiversion is more recent than the current Extension Manager, an alert appears during

installation, indicating that a newer Extension Manager is required.

xmanversion Attribute for version 5.0 that degrades gracefully. Indicates the oldest version of

Extension Manager that can install this extension.

Note: Specify the xmanversion attribute only if a newer version of Extension Manager doesn’t support the

extension. To indicate the application versions that are compatible with an extension, see the maxversion attribute

for product on page 16.

icon Attribute for version 5.0 that does not degrade gracefully. Indicates the path to customized

extension icon displayed by Extension Manager. To specify this relative path, use the

$ExtensionSpecificEMStore attribute. For more information, see the destination attribute
