Description
Application Manager is an application based on the Application Manager API. It uses an application descriptor to aggregate XWiki pages into Applications. The Application Manager allows operations such as import/export and support features such as page translations, dependencies and the ability to link content instead of duplicating it.
Installation
Import the Application Manager application in your XWiki using the Import feature in the Administration.
How to use
Point your browser to the XApp.WebHome page. From there you can create applications in XAppManager/CreateApplication page, see what applications you have in your wiki and delete, export, import new, etc. in XAppManager/WebHome page.
