 +==== Extend generation process ====
 +Generation process is driven by a <wrap adicode>​Scenario Tree</​wrap>​ contained inside **Scenario.xml** file.\\
 +Update <wrap adicode>​Scenario Tree</​wrap>​ will change the generation process.\\
 +Several ways are proposed to impact the generation:
 +  * Specify Pojo rewriters: Pojo will be rewrited. Changes will impact input for generation process.
 +  * Specify items in the Plugin Entities list of the <wrap adicode>​Scenario Tree</​wrap>​ to force generation to add features. ​
 +  * Use extension of the default scenario classes: Changes will impact the generated <wrap adicode>​axml</​wrap>​ files.
 +  * Use extension of the default generators classes: Changes will impact the generated <wrap adicode>​java</​wrap>​ files.
 +
 +You can also use or create a new file for a partial <wrap adicode>​Scenario Tree</​wrap>​ containing items described above.
 +There is an option for merging both <wrap adicode>​Scenario Trees</​wrap>​.\\
 +This feature is useful when you want to reuse similar changes for several projects. ​

 +==== Extend components ====
 +
 +You can easily extend components provided automatically by generated classes. This is a very important feature for Adichatz.
 +\\ \\
 +Suppose that you want the foreground color of field description to change when length of the text is greater than 90.\\
 +At least, two possibilities are provided by Adichatz:
 +=== Create a listener in the XML FilmDIGENERATED.axml file. ===
 +Listeners provides a very effective and simple way to add behaviors to your application.
 +Several categories of listeners allows you to add code during running application:​
 +    * Life cycle: fired at specific times of the life cycle of a controller.
 +    * Control: fired when value changes due to user actions.
 +    * Entity: Listen to events on entities (lock, change status...)
 +    * ...

 +\\
 +=== Extends a Controller ===
 +Element described by XML file are controllers which are composition of UI widgets. These controllers could be easily extended and their extension could replace the original controller.
 +Controller extension is very useful when you have to bring cumbersome behaviors. It is heavily used to build Adichatz studio, in particular <wrap adicode>​editors</​wrap>​ which manages all <wrap adicode>​*.axml</​wrap>​ and <wrap adicode>​Scenario.xml</​wrap>​ files.\\
