Answer 2

All hybris extensions have the same minimal structure :

/.externalToolBuilders directory
/.settings directory
/lib directory
/resources directory
/src directory
/testsrc directory
/web directory
.classpath file
.pmd file
.project file
.ruleset file
.springBeans file
buildcallbacks.xml
extensioninfo.xml file
project.properties file
external-dependencies.xml file

So there is only one type of extension.

You can then make some different "group" of extension :

• your custom extensions in /custom
• the extensions working in module, that have always, a core, a hmc and a web extension
• the platform extensions in /platform
• the business extensions in /bin
• the template extensions, starting with 'y' anf containing an `extgen.propertiesfile. You can have the up to date list of template there

Answer 3

Actually there are two different types of extensions in Hybris:

1. Web extensions (webmodule) which expose an access url : yacceleratorstorefront, hmc, ...
2. Core extensions (coremodule) which basically contains logics : platform, yacceleratorcore, yacceleratorfacades,...

Note: And also some extensions can be both web and core at the same time.

Answer 5

I would say that depends on your config...

according to the previous comments you got you may also have a look at the documentation by SAP https://help.hybris.com

There is a complete capture about Getting started, Creating new Extensions with the core trail and so on. It may help you as well to understand which extensions are possible in which configuration-set according to the accelerator you've chosen and stuff :)
