Anyway, I'm proceeding with my tutorial process 
Now i have created a "web-client-config-custom.xml" and a "webclient.properties" file in my extension folder
It all works fine, except that i can't see the new properties i've defined (published, active?, product, version) of my documents in the properties window (i've created a content of the new "whitepapre" type). The only new thing i can see is a "product realted" property.
Here are the files:
webclient.properties:
web-client-config-custom.xml:

I haven't understand quite a single word 
What do you mean with "hot deployment via Alfresco Explorer GUi"?
And with "eclipse deployment into the webapps folder"?
As i said before I am really a novice, can you speak as simple as possible please?

Ok, sorry, Ill back up a bit.
— eclipse —
Eclipse is an open developement envorinment framework, you can use to develope software for Alfresco. it offers
* Freemarker Editor plugin
* Javascript/java/xml Editors including (some) syntax checking and code-completion (ctrl + space)
* validation of XML files (for missing endtags, for instance)
* graphical workflow designer for advanced workflows
Jeff potts (ecmarchitect.com) offers code samples for the developer series tutorials, which can be imported into eclipse, allowing you to automate the deployment (copying files to the correct location). This way, you can play with the samples and push a button to send your files over to your system.
If you really want to start with Alfresco, you should,BTW, get yourselve a copy of the "Alfresco Developer Guide" (see Alfresco Wiki under "The Guide"), which is even more elaborate than the online tutorials.
— Hot deployment —
you can
* create an AMP file
* edit directly in the webapps/alfresco path
* copy the changed files to webapps/alfresco (e.g. via zip file expansion)
* use Alfresco Explorer webgui to upload the files (thats what I mean with hotdeployment). But this only works, if files with similar name weren't already deployed in one of the other ways.)
— Novice —
No problem Just as long as you give credit, read wiki & forum and think before asking (as you seem to be doing :!: ) the people here are quite willing to help. The thing is, however - beeing a novice to Alfresco is one thing, but you should have a programming background on java, php or javascript, if you want to do some serious customizing.
Good hunting,
Norgan

Hhmm… lot of stuff!
Well maybe it's better to explain my situation:
I'm a student and I'm working with alfresco for my thesis. My goal is to customize an ECM starting from an ontology (but this goes out of theme for this forum )
As you mentioned, is impossible to do this all without some programming background. I have learned a littel bit of Java earleir in my studies (using NetBeans), but I surely have to take a look back at it because I've done it some years ago…
But before entering in the java world (or eclipse or whatever) I would like to get things working witht the first basic part of alfresco customization: the XML files mentioned by Jeff Potts int he first developer series tutorials ("Alfresco Developer: Working with Custom Content Types"). I'm getting a little problem with that, and I hope that you might give me some help.
As I said before, it all works fine except that I can't see the new properties I've defined (published, active?, product and version; as it is graphically shown in the developer giude) in the properties window of the new document types (for example a whitepaper). The only new property i can see is a mysterious "product related" property.
I've tried to investigate the reasons for this, but I can't figure what's wrong.
At the end of the article (under: "Where to find more information") I found the complete source code for the examples (I always find these useful infos too late :x ). I have take the files under the extension directory and copied it into my alfresco extension directory, but i get the same problem exposed before. The only file among these 5 not mentioned in the developer guide is the "webserviceclient.properties" file, but I exclude it might be somehow related to my property problem.
What could be the problem in your opinion?
