The scope is a path of those KDOM node types that should be matched/selected. The path can be relative (anywhere in the KDOM tree) or root based. Specific path wildcards as "*" and "**" are allowed. The different kinds of scopes and their usage are explained [here|How-To Extension Points].

An Extension Point has a specific type, for example ''Action, TagHandler, TypeHandler'' or ''EventListener''. The defined extension point specifies that each extension has to give values for class, name, description, version, and priority. This has to be defined by each extension point; an extension point further can require additional value, for example the specification of a file name.

You need to enable the plug-ins you want to build into KnowWE when using Eclipse. Here's how:
Open your Run Configuration for the KnowWE build and add parameters for the plug-ins you want to have in the goals section.
For instance: You want to enable the Comment plug-in. Here, you have to add a {{comment-plugin}} parameter. List all the profile names for the Plug-ins you want to add in the Profiles Section and build KnowWE.
See the screenshot on the right for another example.

You don't have to worry that you changes will be lost after you shut down KnowWE. To make the changes effective for the next restart, you have to perform Maven install on KnowWE-App.
For each of the two maven super projects (d3web, d3web-KnowWE), select the project, right click on it, "Run as...", "Maven package".

For each of the two maven super projects (d3web, d3web-KnowWE), select the project, right click on it, "Run as...", "Maven package".
! INFO: ERROR: Failed to create a Wiki engine: JSPWiki: Unable to load and setup properties from jspwiki.properties.
This is a missleading message display caused by unprecise error handling within jspwiki initialization code. The try-catch does not only include reading of the jspwiki.properties file, but also initialization of plugins/filters, i.e. also entire initialisiation of KnowWE. If you have recently changed code of KnowWE or a KnowWE-Plugin this error __most likely__ has __nothing__ to do with the jspwiki.properties file. It can be any kind of exception happening during KnowWE initialization. After the ''Unable to load and setup properties from jspwiki.properties'' the ''e.getMessage()'' of the actual exception is shown (without stack-trace unfortunately). __Tipp:__ Check the message string to guess what kind of exception it might have been; Consider your latest code changes; if nothing helps start debugging, e.g. in ''Environment.initInstance()''
! Are d3web's Session objects thread-safe for multi-threaded environments?
In general a single d3web session is not thread-safe for write access. Reading contents from the same session with multiple threads is ok. But having an applications where multiple threads simultaneously read/write to a session, they need to be synchronized. Even if there is only one thread that writes to the session, it need to be synchronized with all reading threads. By convention, in d3web this should be done using the "Session"-Object as the semaphore for synchronization. This makes sure that your code will be interoperable with all other applications code (also considering this convention), without being in danger to create deadlocks.
