Make my own extension

Is there any documentation on how to create my own extensions? I specifically wonder about content classes. I have some custom content classes I created with standard templates and icons for the admin interface and so on, can I wrap these up in an extension?

of course you can put your own design and the icons in your own extension.
If you install the new ez version 3.9.1 with the ezwebin extension you have an example for a design extension.

I'll check it out. Does that include content classes as well? Aren't those stored in the database?

The content classes are stored in the database!
You can create a package included the contentclasses for your extension, and store this under your extension anywhere.

Then you can easily import the required contentclasses, if you use your extension in another ez installation.

Can you point me to some documenation on how I do this?

Edit: Of course, as you said - what I want to do is to make a package, not an extension. This way you could install eZ Publish with my package and be up and running with my content classes and design right? I can't find the documentation for this.
