'Simple Module' or AMP module ?

Hello,I am trying to understand with which kind of template I should work.Most examples use the AMP templates (repo, share or all in one).But the documentation for SDK 2.2 says in the <a href="http://docs.alfresco.com/5.1/concepts/dev-extensions-packaging-techniques-jar-files.html">"Simple Mod

Hi,

You should go with JARs. All the extension point samples for 5.1 docs (http://docs.alfresco.com/5.1/concepts/dev-platform-extension-points.html, http://docs.alfresco.com/5.1/concepts/dev-platform-extension-points.html) are available as JAR modules, see: https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-sdk-samples/tree/alfresco-51/all-in-one

Thanks, that was my preferred option but I was worried not to find much support and samples. Actually I got lost at some point in the alfresco-sdk-samples repository, as the documentation I was reading about modules was not pointing to the alfresco-51 branch…

Hi,
I am starting to make it work and even understand one or 2 things.
Your samples were absolutely necessary.

I would have a few remarks.
1. I have found a note in the documentation (http://docs.alfresco.com/5.1/concepts/dev-extensions-packaging-techniques-jar-files.html) that says: <cite> you should specify the new module.share.version.min and module.share.version.max properties</cite> while the module.properties files still have the old module.repo properties, maybe it would be helpful to update them for unskilled people like me.
2. It would also be very useful to include the test structure to the examples, I took (due to ignorance) much time to set-up a correct testing configuration with the right dependencies, etc.
3. Why not add them or at least a basic one to the alfresco maven templates ?

Thanks
Mike
