hii aditya_chaudhari,

i am not able understand what you are asking for
but you can do customizations and add extra modules to alfresco by packaging java-backed webscripts as a jar

here is a link that i think will help you –

Hi,

If you want to package your Web Script as a JAR you can pretty much copy this project from the article you refer to:

https://github.com/gravitonian/alfresco-maven-sdk2-test/tree/master/component-a-repo-jar

It actually has a Web Script already that us Java-backed so you can see where different things go.

Thanks for this thread, I am trying to build uploader-plus (by Paolo: https://github.com/softwareloop/uploader-plus ) as a jar and trying to use your pom.xml.

It capture javabased classess but skip all other customization under "config" folder.
Here is my pom.xml. please let me know if i am missing anything. I have copied dependencis from the uploader-plus's pom.xml to your suggested file.

thanks

In maven's conventions,by default java source directories are src/main/java and src/test/java ,resource directories are src/main/resources and src/test/resources.If you want to use other source directories and resource directories ,please customize pom file and modify following element:
<sourceDirectory>,<resources>,<testResources> which are under build element.
