Hi,I am a newbie in the wonderful world of Maven. I was realy amazed by the Gab Columbro presentation at Barcelona Summit, so I decided to get into it, but I have to say I am a little disapointed now.I tested both AMP and All-In-One archetypes, and read all tutorials I could find, but I encountered

Hi, from one newbie to another…
I don't kmow if you have got any further with this but I have had similar issues to what you describe but am getting some good results now.
I tried the All-in-One archetype first but experienced similar slow startup times etc. so now have created two projects from the Amp archetype, one for repository and one for share.
Running mvn integration-test -Pamp-to-war for repo project and mvn integration-test -Pamp-to-war -Dalfresco.client.war=share for share. This starts up in a minute or so (but the repo project takes a couple of mins)
There are a couple of configurations you need to add to your pom to configure tomcat ports - for repository pom


<maven.tomcat.host>localhost</maven.tomcat.host>
<maven.tomcat.port>8580</maven.tomcat.port>
‍‍‍‍

and for share pom


        <maven.tomcat.host>localhost</maven.tomcat.host>
   <maven.tomcat.port>8581</maven.tomcat.port>
   <alfresco.maven.tomcat.host>localhost</alfresco.maven.tomcat.host>
   <alfresco.maven.tomcat.port>8580</alfresco.maven.tomcat.port>
‍‍‍‍‍‍

and you also need to configure share-custom-context.xml in your share pom to point to your repository tomcat.

If you have any more specific questions then ask and I'll see if I can help - even though I am not expert.

Hi Conrad, and thanks for your reply !
I'll test the configuration you mentioned and give you a feedback here.

Another more specific question could be about the Share Web resources deployment : can you confirm you have to restart the Share Tomcat instance each time you make a change in a JS or CSS file ? Is there a way to deploy these resources directly, without rebuilding and redeploying the Share AMP ?
