How do you make a dialog out of an xml file?

[mardaro23]

I was following this tutorial guide: http://experience-aem.blogspot.ca/2013/12/aem-cq-56-adding-images-in-multifield.html

And it has an dialog but is in XML format, how do I create a dialog through XML?

Dialogs for AEM components are created using nodes and CRXDE lite. AEM does not have a feature to pass XML in order to create a component dialog. For anyone reading this thread and wanting to know how to build a dialog, see:

You can download and install the Hero component (from the article) and read the article to learn how to build the Hero component's dialog.
