Alfresco ECM moving forward on the Maven path
These days some milestones have been placed that are both consolidating past efforts and promising great improvements on maven based processes around Alfresco ECM.
First and foremost, to prove the Alfresco commitment in mavenizing the product, have a look at their hosted Sonatype Nexus instance. Even if big changes are still due, you’ll be more than happy to find Alfresco dismembered in maven artifacts, each one with it’s POM. Most of them are just a kind of placeholders, but here and there you can find some hints of what they’re going to be.
Aside, the same Nexus instance also offers a new home for the components developed within Sourcesense that up until now are the only way to leverage Maven when dealing with Alfresco.
A great post from the guy that made it happen will provide you more and more insights, pointers and stuff. All with a Maven taste.

Spring Surf meets Clojure
about 3 months ago - 5 comments
For those who missed it, some time ago the Alfresco guys donated their Surf Platform to SpringSource, giving birth to the now-called SpringSurf, which is thereby described as: a view composition framework for Spring MVC that plugs into your existing Spring applications. It provides a scriptable and content-centric approach to building web applications. I’m not
Handling Microsoft Windows NTP sync
about 4 months ago - 3 comments
This post should raise some eyebrows around, as I’m advocating Linux since ages and I’m not at all into Microsoft stuff for the 99.99% of my time. This story comes out of that (usually negligible) 0.01%. Why bother with NTP on MS Windows? The Alfresco implementation I’m working on has to integrate with a fully
Amsterdam Clojurians meeting #4 – Dojo style
about 4 months ago - 1 comment
Today the fourth meeting of the Amsterdam Clojure user group was held at the now usual Sourcesense offices venue in Amsterdam. It has been probably the most successful one until now: thanks to some newcomers we had the most participated event ever with 10 nerdy, awesome geeks sitting together to discuss about nerdy, awesome stuff
From the grounds up, your Maven powered Alfresco dev box
about 7 months ago - 4 comments
The target To start your Alfresco development experience, you need a development environment. Let’s say you’re more into this Maven and you’d rather leverage its capabilities instead of using the default ant based build system provided along with the SDK. In this tutorial, I’ll guide you through the process of setting up from scratch your
Multiple Eclipse instances, a smart way
about 10 months ago - 4 comments
I’m one of the many Java devs around the world that chose Eclipse as IDE platform. It happens to me that when I reuse the same Eclipse instance across various projects I almost always end up transforming my IDE in a fat elephant with a broken leg, with tons of plugins and extensions that have
Alfresco and LDAP sync lock my Admin no more!
about 11 months ago - No comments
On the custom Alfresco Enterprise project I’m working we use LDAP sync to import users from a Novell eDirectory server[1]. Now, it happened from time to time that the user Alfresco binds itself with, i.e. the LDAP admin user, got locked in eDirectory as a “Intrusion prevention” mechanism or something like that. The LDAP sysadmin
Deploy your site on Nexus™ OpenSource
about 1 year ago - 2 comments
These days I have to provide a documentation site to one customer, so I started playing around with the maven site plugin and I created a really beautiful set of pages that will be able to teach all the details of my project to a chimp. Now, it’s time to make it available for that
Apache Meetups – Day #1
about 1 year ago - No comments
Got there, eventually. It was not easy to make it up to be there, but it was definitely worth the hustle Yesterday was the first of two evening meetups which are part of the ApacheCon 2009, with two main tracks to geeky-chat with some smart guys on Portals or Maven quirks. I’m still working on
GOTO’s spirit still haunts Java…
about 1 year ago - No comments
Some days ago I was debugging some LDAP-related customizations I made on Alfresco, and I run into an odd piece of code which made my eyebrow raise: labeled break (and continue) statements. Believe it or not, labels are still there, and someone still uses them. Here’s a dumb example: String[] someStrings = getStringsFromSomewhere (); String[]
