Development Environment SDK & SVN

[john85]

Hi all,

After reading and following instructions on afresco developer guide by jeff potts im confused as to what source code im going to use. Already checked out the source code from SVN Repo. (svn://svn.alfresco.com) and also downloaded the SDK (alfresco-community-sdk-3.2r2).

Also Done with installing the needed apps (Eclipse, MySQL, Tomcat, ant, etc)

1. what will i use the SDK or the one in the SVN?

got a lot of questions on my head just want to solve it one at a time.

Thanks.

The answer is "it depends".   If you have doenloaded the code from SVN you can build Alfresco and the SDK from scratch.   You also have all the remote interfaces etc and can for example build the JavaDoc.

The SDK contains some sample code, pre-built libraries and already generated javadoc.   You use the SDK if you just want to develop code to plug into Alfresco but not change Alfresco iteself.
