Hi,

A good place to start developing Alfresco plugins is the Alfresco SDK. You can find the community version here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Community_file_list_4.0.e

For documentation start with:
- the wiki: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Main_Page
- the official docs: http://docs.alfresco.com/4.0/index.jsp
- Jeff Pott's Alfresco Developer Series tutorials: http://ecmarchitect.com/alfresco-developer-series

Alfresco plugins are packaged as AMPs (Alfresco Module Packages). The structure is documented on the wiki: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Developing_an_Alfresco_Module

You can also find an example of an AMP—including an ant build file—in the Alfresco SDK.

To install an AMP you use the Module Management Tool. This tool merges the AMPs you want to install with the alfresco.war or share.war file. It is documented here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Module_Management_Tool
