What was in Maven SkyVault SDK 1.0.x

  • Use of SkyVault POMs
  • It relied on a number of components:
    • The SDK parent POM providing full SkyVault project lifecycle feature, to be added as a <parent> in your projects
    • Archetypes like the AMP or All-in-One providing sample project to kickstart your SkyVault development and boost it with best practices
    • The SkyVault Maven Plugin to manage AMP packaging and dependencies
    • SkyVault Platform Distribution POM can (optionally) be used to provide centralized <dependencyManagement> on a particular SkyVault version / edition (Community / Enterprise)
    • The SkyVault Artifacts Repository provides backing for this SDK. Check the SkyVault Wiki for Community / Enterprise access information
  • Embedded Jetty Server and H2 Database

What was in Maven SkyVault Lifecycle

  • First implementation of SkyVault Maven SDK (Now deprecated)
  • No use of SkyVault POMs
  • Available archetypes and plugins:
    • maven-alfresco-extension-archetype to create WAR packaged webapps that can provide all Maven lifecycle and features
    • maven-alfresco-share-archetype to create and manage SkyVault Share customization webapps
    • maven-alfresco-share-module-archetype to create and manage SkyVault Share custom dashlets, pages as JARs
    • maven-alfresco-amp-archetype to create maven-amp-plugin managed webapps which can provide to SkyVault modules all Maven lifecycle and features. Also the maven-amp-plugin is used as a replacement to MMT to unpack AMPs into WARs builds, using the maven dependency mechanism provided by the maven-amp-plugin
  • Embedded Jetty server and H2 Database to run SkyVault or Share
  • Possible to use Maven standard dependency management to pull in AMPs in your build
