AMP or JAR for custom model packaging?

[sepgs2004]

In Alfresco 5.0.d, to develop and incorporate our custom model, we prepared/packaged an AMP file using online documentation and Jeff Pott's book. On this behalf, we prepared two AMP files, one for the repo tier, and the other for share UI.

Our Alfresco is upgraded to Alfresco Community Edition 5.1.0.

Now, I have to add some fields/properties to our custom model.

Is there a way to do this without redoing the creation of the AMP files?

I have heard there is a JAR file thing in place of AMP file thing!

Is this applicable to version 5.1.0?

And if it is, could you please direct me to a clear reference to do this.

It is hard to find clear notes on this.

Hi,

Alfresco 5.1.0 is compatible and supported with sdk 2.2 which packages in amp format

Compatibility matrix | Alfresco Documentation 

From Alfresco 5.2 onwards - are compatible with SDK 3.0 - jar format

Getting started with Alfresco SDK 3.0 | Alfresco Documentation 

For 5.0 and earlier - Compatibility matrix | Alfresco Documentation 

Please let me know if it helps. Thanks!

For some reason, with my experience preparing the AMP, I wanted to find an alternative way of packaging/deploying the custom model in the repo and the share tier.

I do not know how the JAR packaging is, as opposed to the AMP.

So unless, we upgrade to 5.2, we cannot do JAR packaging.

Thanks
