[ANNOUNCEMENT] - Maven alfresco Extension archetype 1.1.0 released

[Gabriele Columbro <g....@sourcesense.com>]

The Maven alfresco Extension archetype team is pleased to announce the maven-alfresco-extension-archetype-1.1.0 release!

This archetype developed aims to provide a standardized approach to development, release and deployment of Alfresco extensions (as opposed to
AMP builds, to be released as a different artifact ). Using standard m2 lifecycle commands (mvn compile package deploy) and generally
available plugins (cargo, release, assembly) we are able to cover a very high percentage of Alfresco lifecycle common use cases. It can be
used both with Maven2 and Ant build systems, but it must be clear that *only* the Maven2 approach provides all the automation features we will
describe in this website. In addition to that the m2 approach provides a zero-conf approach while ant requires (as usual) manual gathering and
selection of required alfresco libraries and webapp (please refer to README-ant.txt for further info about the Ant build). Last but not the
least, m2 build is more likely to be maintained and improved (especially in the likely case Alfresco moves to maven2). For more details on the
m2 apprach please refer instead to README Section (or directly and to README-m2.txt of the generated project).

Changes in this version include:

New features:
o Added documentation at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Managing_Alfresco_Lifecyle_with_Maven
o Added full AMP lifecycle management.


Have fun!
