M2 Instructions for Alfresco AMP:
--------------------------------

The project can be built using Maven2.


Alfresco maven2 AMP build
-------------------------


One command quickstart:
$ MAVEN_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx512m -XX:PermSize=128m" mvn  clean integration-test -P webapp 

Runs the jetty embedded with overlayed the currently developed AMP


FEATURES:
---------

- AMP customized build : 										 mvn clean package
- AMP dependencies management: 									'mvn clean package' can take care of overlay deps
- Alfresco webapp integration via war creation					 mvn clean package -P webapp
- jetty embedded build for fast testing,						 mvn clean integration-test -P webapp
- install/deployment of Alfresco compatible AMPs on a m2 repo    mvn install / deploy  [ params ]

- using the maven-amp-plugin (http://forge.alfresco.com/maven4alfresco) WAR can depend on AMP artifacts and have them overlayed within the maven
lifecycle, avoiding the boring MMT run.

Specific dependencies and different Alfresco versions can be specified in 'webapp' profile dependecies. Alfresco test webapp is overlayed (apart with 
all AMP and WAR dependencies specified) also with a sensible default 'alfresco/extension' folder to have a clean safe reproduceable and portable 
default alfresco run. Find these test configuaration files in 'src/test/resources' and environment dependent properties in src/test/properties/<env>/application.properties

		|			|			  |	  Get's copied (by best practice) by build into package alfresco/module/groupId.artifactId.
		|			|			  |   This convention is used by the archetype and by the AMP unpacker.
