In the main.vmd, I have a section that I would like to render as wiki text, in order to do this I need access to a renderContext to pass in to a helper.
Charles has said that it is possible, but heavily discouraged it. With that in mind, I would still like to know how to do it (or an alternative method to achieve what I want). See mail 133426.

You can get the renderContext out of any ContentEntityObject using toRenderContext() (new PageContext(obj) does the same thing). There's no set way in a decorator, however, to say "Get the renderContext of the currently-being-displayed CEO".

$page gives me the page in side of page.vmd (so I can use $page.toRenderContext() or similar), but of course that doesn't work in space.vmd.
If my question is fundamentally wrong I apologise - what I want to do is 2 fold:
I hope that makes more sense!

It would make sense to have such a method on the theme helper object somewhere. For now, you could try a process of elimination: try in order
If all these return null, you're looking at a global page with no space or entity to look at.
In main.vmd, however, you're out of luck. By the time SiteMesh hits main.vmd, most of the context has been lost, except for what has been passed up from the other decorators or templates inside <content> blocks.

I am currently using ServletActionContext.getRequest().setAttribute() (and the appropriate getter), however there are cases where the request will not exist (eg: when the macro is rendered from a decorator (like in the LeftNav theme), or when exporting to PDF).
What should I use? Perhaps the RenderContext (or one of its ancestors) should contain the ability to set/get attributes?
If this is the case then I'll file a JIRA support issue.

There seems to be an incompatibility between 1.4 and 2.0 in that ServletActionContext.getRequest() returns null in 2.0 in cases that worked in 1.4. For instance if the preview tab is selected, it is null. Interestingly, in a comment where you are allowed to press the preview button, the button works but the preview tab does not (ie. returns null). Why is it incompatible and what recommendations are there for macro writers? Thanks.

There are several situations in which macros will be rendered without the ServletActionContext being populated, whether it be because the request hasn't come in via Webwork, as is the case with AJAX requests that are routed through the DWR servlet, or because the request is being rendered for something like an email which doesn't have a web context to begin with.
The ServletActionContext should always be considered a bonus - if it's populated, you can do something useful with it, but you shouldn't count on its existence.

Am I right about this? If so, it might be worth documenting on this page. I know it wouldn't matter for new macros but it might be useful to know for legacy macros (to determine whether they might have to be rewritten).

I'm trying to write an extension of another plugin by extending a Base class, but when I try to upload my JAR, I'm getting a ClassNotFoundException. Short of combining the two plugins together, is there any way to access classes written for one plugin in another?

So, if plugin-a.jar depends on classes in plugin-b.jar, plugin-b.jar needs to be installed into WEB-INF/lib. If plugin-b.jar also depends on classes in plugin-a.jar, then both plugins will have to be installed into WEB-INF/lib.
This is due to the way the class loader for uploaded plugins works. There are some ideas bouncing around to improve the situation, but the scenario you described is unlikely to be resolved any time soon, unfortunately.
