In this article, I'll walk through the steps involved in writing your own component generator. A custom generator is useful when you want to significantly modify the UI behavior of the Alfresco web application. In this case, I'd like to adjust the way that associations are managed.
The out-of-the-box tool presents associations as shown below:

We're going to write a new associations component so that associations will render as shown below and will feature a popup-window for selecting from Alfresco.

When all is said and done, the code to achieve all of this will be available within an Alfresco Forge project. That way, you can simply download the resulting code and use it. But this will also let you see how to build your own components, step by step.
