Codebeamer offers a simple and flexible way to extend your wiki implementation: you can develop your own wiki plugins to integrate with external data sources and display the delivered information directly in your wiki pages.

Codebeamer's wiki engine is built on top of the JSPWiki core, so developing a wiki plugin is fundamentally identical on both platforms. It also means that most of the JSPWiki plugins can be reused and adapted to run in Codebeamer, with relatively little effort.

In this short article (the first in a series) a simple "hello world" wiki plugin for Codebeamer is described.
