Yes you can embed Alfresco. At least one of the examples in the SDK does this.

You should probably also look at CMIS instead of JCR.

Thank you for the fast answer.
I suppose you mean the "SDK AlfrescoEmbedded" project in SDK? I thought this is only for test purposes and that I should download something like Alfresco for embedding or so to do a real one?

Can you refer me to a documentation that gives some guidance how to embed Alfresco Community Edition (I will call it ACE) into an existing application? Should I use the artifacts from the SDK directly or I should download a dedicated version of ACE used for embedding.

Last. Do you recommend using CMIS instead of JCR?

Thanks for your answers in advance. I am trying to evaluate Alfresco for a project.
