SDK for Alfresco Development, Testing, packaging and custom project lifecycle management based on Apache Maven.
Includes support for rapid and standard development, testing, packaging, versioning and release of your Alfresco integration and extension projects.
We are approaching the final 2.0.0 release of the SDK (compatible with Alfresco Community 5.0.c and Enterprise 5.0). If you want early access to the release candidate build and want to participate to the testing process check this page and report issues here.
Once the vote is closed the SDK will be available in Maven Central.
For an overview of the SDK potential check out this video:
The SDK is composed of:
- An SDK Parent POM which you can use in your projects to enable rapid Alfresco development features
- An Alfresco Platform Distribution POM which pre-configures versions of Alfresco and common 3rd party dependency libraries, for stability purposes
- A Maven Alfresco Plugin which provides AMP packaging and installation facilities (a la MMT) and other common goals for Alfresco development
- A number of Maven Archetypes (sample projects) including:
SDK 2.x: Full documentation is available at the Alfresco SDK site.
Additional documentation for Alfresco Community and Enterprise, tutorials and examples is available in the Alfresco Documentation.
Advanced sample projects are maintained by @ohej in the Alfresco SDK Samples project.
