Publishing Your Extension

Check out the options you have in the Marketplace. You can use bookmarks for faster access to extensions that you are interested in. You can search and learn about new extensions. And, most importantly for this document, you can publish your own extension. To publish, click on the Contact us link at the bottom.

Once clicked, a request form opens. In it, you can add information about your extension such as a name, a description, the development stage and more.

When the form is complete, click Submit Request.

When received, Altair will check the request and create a product page for your extension. You will be informed by email as soon as it is ready. Once this is done, you can administer your product and upload the first version.

Then, find the My products menu and open it. Click on the product to change the product name, define the extension category, write a short description and upload a new package for this product. This is also the place to upload the first version of the JAR file of your own extension.

Now, other users can download and use your extension. Congratulations!
