You might want to consider attending an Alfresco certified training course.

Start here.   It's where I started.   http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_on_Eclipse

- So could anyone help how to create my application using eclipse..?
What does your application do.
What is your architecture?

i tried to check out source code by subclipse plug-in but i couldnt(error:RLA LAYER FAILED…?)why??.
Havn't a clue.    I use Smart SVN and Tortoise.

so my doubts are
should import alfresco.war n proceed furthr..? or i should build a new project(IF SO HOW TO START WITH?) or anything can be done by SDK…?
It depends upon what you are doing.    A remote alfresco project is your code, so you don't need anything.    If you are using webscripts you may like to use the SDK or OpenCMIS.    If you are building code to go inside the alfresco war then the SDK or the source code.     And if share enhancements then you need a UI guy to answer.

which technology to use JSF OR SPRING?
That's not an "OR".    And there's a neither option as well.   And I can't possibly guide without knowing your requirements and architecture.

Please provide complete step by step procedure…!
Um - how could anyone do that.

I m newbie please bear with me..
That's why I'm bothering to try to help.

Your project sounds like an advanced workflow. You may even find that the sample "review and approve" workflow does exactly what you need. And if not then its a good starting point.

I don't think any customisation of the source code is required for your requirement. Start by experimenting and learning about workflow in alfresco.
