The Alfresco extension archetype is used to create an Alfresco WAR. That is the Alfresco Repository and the old Explorer client.

To create an AMP you have to use an AMP archetype. An AMP can be installed onto the Alfresco war with the mmt-tool or as a maven dependency in the extension archetype.

For Alfresco Share to work you need to use the Alfresco Share extension. In this you can put your "share-config-custom.xml".

However, after reading your post I suspect you actually have created an Alfresco AMP with the amp archetype in maven. The problem is that you will need to create a Share Extension as well and in this you will put your share-config-custom.xml.

It a djungle, I know

Thanks for the reply,

now I created two maven-amp-plugins with the maven-alfresco-amp-archetype. One plugin injects my model into alfresco.war and the other one does the share customization. I applied both amps to the war files and it works.

Hi,

Checkout my tiny addons : https://github.com/fliot/alfresco-geo-ext

It provides an .amp with new model content to alfresco, and a .jar for share customization.

Embed the additional share-config-custom.xml customization portions you want into the .jar share, and it makes a full answer to your need.
