Objectives

State of the (Maven) nation A sneak peek on the (Maven)

Alfresco SDK 2.0! Demo Q/A

Disclaimer!

2.0.0-SNAPSHOT is a SNAPSHOT version! Active development undergoing! YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) MMMV (MY Mileage May Vary) :) 2.0.0-Beta-1 out later this week!

State of the (Maven) nation Alfresco Build FULLY Mavenized!

Community 5.0.a out and release with Maven (Kudos to Sam!)

https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/BDE-32 closed after 8 years! No more config artifacts Real POMs coming from a releases build Surf back home :)

(Maven) Alfresco SDK Migrated to Github at https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-sdk/

Huge community momentum (Kudos to Ole & Mao!) Major developer ergonomics improvements with 2.x (Old Java / Eclipse) SDK superceded and about to be EOL’d Call it Alfresco SDK from now on!

The (Maven) Alfresco SDK 2.x Target release: Summit 2014 Achievements (already in the latest

SNAPSHOT): Migration to Github —> Improved visibility.

Fork us! Added Share archetype MAJOR rapid application development

features (hot code reloading) using spring-loaded (free!)

Seamless IDE integration with Eclipse / IDEA Zero reloading development! Remote Junit ported to the new approach

The (Maven) Alfresco SDK 2.x Additional key features (still to be added):

Must: Availability on Maven Central! Must: Integration of the Alfresco Technical

Validation Tool Must: Alignment with samples at

https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-sdk-samples/

Should: RM rapid dev archetypes Should: Community & Enterprise profiles Should: General bugfixing (see filter) Could: Mock webscript testing integration Could: Use of a webscript instead of embedded

Jetty for remote Junit running

Sure, but what changes? Really very little, from a user standpoint Key profiles are kept for backwards

compatibility On AMP projects: -Pamp-to-war On AIO (TBC) projects: -Prun

JRebel (deprecated) support incapsulated in an optional (non supported) profile -Pjrebel

Is this reloading really hot? I will let you judge about that :) Currently hot reloading (with no long webapp context

reload): Java Classes Test classes (for remote Junit running) Webscripts (Java, Javascripts, FTL) Web Resources (JS, CSS, JSP, etc.) Classpath config files

What is NOT reloaded: Spring Context (need restart upon Spring

config changes)

Demo Repo Rapid Repository AMP Development On Eclipse Luna Pre-requisites:

Maven 3.2.2 Eclipse Luna latest build

Story board: Create empty AMP Show testing Add webscript / modify it Profit :)

Command line:

MAVEN_OPTS="-Xms1024m -Xmx2048m -XX:PermSize=1024m -javagent:/Users/gabrielecolumbro/Downloads/springloaded-1.2.0.RELEASE.jar -noverify" mvn clean install -Pamp-to-war

How did we achieve that? A magic combo of:

spring-loaded (library for classpath resources reloading)

Tomcat7 context.xml configuration and virtualWebapp features

Advantages? IDE independent Free Wait time for class changes … 0s! Just refresh! Wait time for running tests … 0s! No app

context startup time with remote Junit running!

Demo Share Rapid Share AMP Development On IDEA Pre-requisites:

Maven 3.2.2 IDEA ???

Story board: Create empty AMP Show how to connect to repo running

(alf.repo.url) Show Aikau example Add webscript / modify it Profit :)
