[Building Sakai] Create new Plugin

[Aaron Zeckoski]

Generally you need 3 things to turn a webapp into a sakai tool.

1) Some hooks in the web.xml to cause Sakai to detect the tool and to
load the Sakai services into you spring context
2) A tool.xml to configure the Sakai tool
3) A servlet filter or some custom code to convert to and from the
portal URLs (e.g. sakai-jsp-adapter)

Here is an example of a spring MVC based tool.
