starting with custom content modeling

[hdalang]

I think it's a very difficult to start with developing with alfresco, but I think once I learn how to develop custom content I can move on. I have red a lot of topics that explain alfresco custom content. but I don't feel that I get it. there is some informations maybe I did not recognize, I was having a problem in how to sit alfresco in eclipse and how to use alfresco with maven, now I'm just adding throw the main downloadable files of alfresco, I have change the theme but still facing a problem in understanding alfresco. I have tried custom content with maven sdk and there errors, from this site:

http://ecmarchitect.com/alfresco-developer-series-tutorials/maven-sdk/tutorial/tutorial.html

once I apply this code:

mvn archetype:generate \ -DarchetypeCatalog=https://artifacts.alfresco.com/nexus/content/groups/public/archetype-catalog.xml \ -Dfilter=org.alfresco.maven.archetype:

it gives me some error:

C:\Windows\system32>mvn archetype:generate \ -DarchetypeCatalog=https://artifact
s.alfresco.com/nexus/content/groups/public/archetype-catalog.xml \ -Dfilter=org.
alfresco.maven.archetype:

already told you there is no POM in this directory (C:\Windows\system32) . you have executed in wrong directory ,you should execute mvn command in alfresco directory,or you can use -f,–file paramter to specify the POM file.

But MVN is not working with me, that's why I'm using alfresco setup to make the changes that I need.

if you want to invoke mvn command in alfresco home directory ,you must ensure that the commands from the maven are in your PATH environment variable

[hdalang]

Now, I'm getting you, can you show me the path location of alfresco?

step by step please.

Use this command.
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=https://artifacts.alfresco.com/nexus/content/groups/public/archetype-catalog.xml -Dfilter=org.alfresco.maven.archetype:
and it should work for you and then follow rest of the other steps as per the tutorial.
