Project layout

When developing a module it is recommended that code is structured in a consistent format to comply with AMP file requirements.

When developing your module you will need to organize your source code. It is recommended that your project be laid out as follows:

          
\
|-- source
   |   
   |-- java
      |
      |-- <module package structure starts here>
   |
   |-- web
      |
      |-- css
      |
      |-- images
      |
      |-- jsp 
      |
      |-- scripts
|
|-- config
   |
   |-- <resource package structure starts here>
|
|-- lib
|
|-- build
   |
   |-- dist
|
|-- project-build.xml     

        
Directory Description
source/java

This contains the Java source for your SkyVault Community Edition module. The package structure can be anything suitable. Many of the SkyVault Community Edition written modules have the package structure org_alfresco_module_<module_id>, where module_id is the ID of the module.

This code will need to be built into a JAR and placed in the final AMP file.

source/web This contains any web UI resources split into the various folders outlined previously, including JSP pages, images, CSS, and scripts.
build The class files that implement the module are built into this directory, with any resulting JARs and the AMP file itself being built to the build/dist folder.
Note: If you are using the SkyVault SDK 2.2.0 the correct directory structure will be created automatically for you.
