The old API was very limiting. Rather than have extensions be a single object that creates subclasses of the Wallet class, allow arbitrary objects to be attached to Wallets. Objects know if they are mandatory and how to serialize themselves. A wallet can have as many extensions as wanted in this way.
To get started, ensure you have the latest JDK installed, and download Maven from: http://maven.apache.org/ Then run "mvn clean package" to compile the software. You can also run "mvn site:site" to generate a website with useful information like JavaDocs. The outputs are under the target/ directory. Alternatively, just import the project using your IDE. Most good ones have Maven integration. Now try running one of the example apps: cd examples mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=com.google.bitcoin.examples.PingService It will download the block chain and eventually print a Bitcoin address. If you send coins to it, you should get them back a few minutes later when a block is solved. Now you are ready to follow the tutorial: https://code.google.com/p/bitcoinj/wiki/GettingStarted
