development environment document for SDK

[rac_three]

I am new to alfresco in terms of using the SDK. My goal is to do slight modification to the web client ui. What I see in the SDK is the source file. and I uses eclipse, and have also imported a lot of other related .jar files. The process is tedious.

Is there any document on how to setup a development environment for alfresco?

Thank you.

You don't need to add the JARs one by one - that will be tedious. Just do this:

Create a new Workspace in Eclipse

Select File->Import->Existing Projects Into Workspace->Next

Then for Select Root Directory, browse to your SDK install dir /root/projects.

Press OK in the folder browser and Eclipse will find ALL the Alfresco sub-projects in the projects folder.

That's it, it should all build ok.
