Hi

I would like to following the tutorial "Introducing the Alfresco Java Content Repository API" http://www.alfresco.org/mediawiki/index.php/Introducing_the_Alfresco_Java_Content_Repository_API

For example, first do I need to import the entire source code into eclipse? And then build it, in order to get the alfresco-jcr.jar?

I am looking for the step by step tutorial in you will.

Hi,

Once the code is checked out, you can import the projects into Eclipse in the order given in the WIKI: http://www.alfresco.org/mediawiki/index.php/Development_Environment#Eclipse_Projects.
You only need the projects up to and including the jcr project.
You can then run the project-build.xml build file from Eclipse. 

Alternatively, you can checkout and execute the ANT scripts in the ..projects/jcr folder: ant -f project-build.xml.

This will generate the jars to the build/dist folder of the project.

I hope this helps.  We are planning to put together a developer-centric distribution that will contain the necessary jars, but this will only happen sometime after version 1.2 is released.

You need Subversion (http://subversion.tigris.org) to check out the source code.

Presuming you are checking out your source code to c:\alfresco-src you would use the following in a command prompt:

svn co svn://www.alfresco.org/alfresco/HEAD c:\alfresco-src‍

Information has also been added to the following wiki page: http://www.alfresco.org/mediawiki/index.php/Development_Environment

Hope this helps.
