A single .jar file containing all your Java custom code is well sufficient.

It's *EITHER*:

* XXE_install_dir/addon/

*OR*

* XXE_user_preferences_dir/addon/
(in your case %APPDATA%\XMLmind\XMLEditor9\addon\; please do not forget 
the addon\ subdirectory.)

not both.

Please remove the copies you made and clear the quick start cache to 
restore a clean state. Then copy your jars to a just one addon/ 
subdirectory.

Start XXE from a command prompt using XXE_install_dir/bin/xxe-c.bat and 
you may see useful error messages.

After doing this, please select menu item "Help|About" and try to found 
your .xxe configuration file listed in the "About" dialog box. See

"com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.command.", strange choice for a package name, as 
  a "com.xmlmind." prefix implies "belonging to xmlmind.com", that is, 
us. One would expect your custom commands to be packaged in something 
like "at.lexisnexis.xxe_ext."

No, your custom Java code is automatically discovered and loaded 
provided that you copied your .jar to either

* XXE_install_dir/addon/

or

* XXE_user_preferences_dir/addon/

The later being the recommended location.



However, it is mandatory to declare command MultiPick --not the Java 
code implementing it, but the command itself, by its name--

Therefore you must indeed add:
---
<cfg:command name="MultiPick">
   <cfg:class>com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.command.MultiPick</cfg:class>
</cfg:command>
---

to a .xxe file, that is, an XXE configuration file. If you are 
customizing the DocBook v4 configuration it's something like "0docbook.xxe"
---
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<configuration name="DocBook" mimeType="application/docbook+xml"
   icon="xxe-config:common/mime_types/docbook.png" extensions="dbk"
   xmlns="http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/schema/configuration"
   xmlns:cfg="http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/schema/configuration">

   <include location="docbook-config:docbook.xxe"/>

</configuration>

--> I'm sorry but I have no idea about what is "artikel.xxe" and what 
exactly you want to customize.

Please understand that customizing XXE implies carefully reading a lot 
of boring documentation

Namely "XMLmind XML Editor - Configuration and Deployment",
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/customizing.html

and not just trying to follow the somewhat vague directions we give you 
in our emails.

If you cannot or do not want to follow this quite steep path, please 
consider using XXE as is without any of your customizations or consider 
hiring a XML consultant which would port your customizations from v3 to v9.

Sorry for inflicting you what we know to be a steep path!
