Great @ginpachi! Congrats

Idea for improvement: regroup the 4 parameters file, files, document, attachment into 1 :slight_smile:

In your macro you just need a single references parameters of type ResourceReference (see for example https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/ba0430d06ff9e637189c78a53205d30cb20c64d6/xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-office/xwiki-platform-office-macro/src/main/java/org/xwiki/rendering/macro/office/OfficeMacroParameters.java#L65). See also https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Office%20Macro#HFromWikiSyntax

I think a List<ResourceReference> should work automatically too.

This gives you even more power and is future-proof since new resource type can be added in the future without a change to your macro code.

Nice. I didn’t know about this. This would definitely work great.

One question though. Can we use generics like java.util.List<org.xwiki.rendering.listener.reference.ResourceReference> as parameter type?

#4

It seems generics work.

I had one more question. How exactly can we use ResourceReference to get a URL of the resource directly in velocity?
