     Since an extension is a way to hook into Akka itself, the implementor of the extension needs to
     ensure the thread safety of his/her extension.
 
+
+Building an Extension
+---------------------
+
+So let's create a sample extension that just lets us count the number of times something has happened.
+
+First, we define what our ``Extension`` should do:
+
+.. includecode:: code/akka/docs/extension/ExtensionDocTestBase.java
+   :include: imports,extension
+
+Then we need to create an ``ExtensionId`` for our extension so we can grab ahold of it.
+
+.. includecode:: code/akka/docs/extension/ExtensionDocTestBase.java
+   :include: imports,extensionid 
+
+Wicked! Now all we need to do is to actually use it:
+
+.. includecode:: code/akka/docs/extension/ExtensionDocTestBase.java
+   :include: extension-usage
+
+Or from inside of an Akka Actor:
+
+.. includecode:: code/akka/docs/extension/ExtensionDocTestBase.java
+   :include: extension-usage-actor
+
+That's all there is to it!
+
 Loading from Configuration
 --------------------------
 
 To be able to load extensions from your Akka configuration you must add FQCNs of implementations of either ``ExtensionId`` or ``ExtensionIdProvider``
 in the "akka.extensions" section of the config you provide to your ``ActorSystem``.
