This is the home of the Alfresco SDK. The Alfresco SDK is used by developers to build extensions for the Alfresco Digital Business Platform. It is based on
[Apache Maven](http://maven.apache.org/), compatible with major IDEs and enables [Rapid Application Development (RAD)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_application_development)
and [Test Driven Development (TDD)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test-driven_development).

## User Getting Started

### Important Notice about ACS 7.2

Please refer to https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-sdk/issues/635 to fix the Search Services 403 problem.

### Important Notice about ACS 7.1

#### Share Version Number

Since ACS 7.1, Share build pipeline has been refactored, and you now have to specify the internal
Share version number, in addition to the version of the image, because they are not the same anymore.

This number can be located in the main pom.xml of the project used to build Share, hence:

- property `` of [acs-community-packaging](https://github.com/Alfresco/acs-community-packaging/blob/7.1.0/pom.xml#L17) (Community)
- property ``of [acs-packaging](https://github.com/Alfresco/acs-packaging/blob/7.1.0.1/pom.xml#L18) (Enterprise)

So, if for example you want to use the community version of `7.1.0.1`, you can go on acs-community-packaging,
open the `7.1.0.1` release tag, browse its files, open the pom.xml in the root,
then copy the value of ``.

You'll then need to paste this value inside the SDK property ``.

#### Alternate Docker User

- ACS 6 used to run everything as `root`.
- ACS 7 introduced an `alfresco` user, that should've been used after the `root` user completed its configurations in the Dockerfile.

Due to a bug, this wasn't working in earlier SDKs, and has been fixed in SDK 4.3.

In order to be retro-compatible with ACS 6, however, the user is specified in the SDK property ``.

Hence, its values (already in place) are `root` for ACS 6, and `alfresco` for ACS 7+.

#### Log file location

To prevent writing permission problems when logging with the non-root user,
the `alfresco.log` file has also been moved to a more appropriate location (Tomcat logs instead of Tomcat root).

### Important Notice about Version Numbers

In Q4 2020, Alfresco Platform has undergone a major structural refactoring.

Depending on the Platform version desired, you might need to use SDK 4.1, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7 or SDK 4.8 instead of SDK 4.9.

- For Enterprise and Community versions of 7.x, SDK 4.4 or higher must be used
- For Enterprise versions of 6.0.x, 6.1.x, 6.2.x newer than November 2020, SDK 4.3 must be used
- For Enterprise and Community versions of 6.0.x, 6.1.x, 6.2.x older than November 2020, SDK 4.1 must be used

It's also important to remember that:

- Community Platform versions are built by [acs-community-packaging](https://github.com/Alfresco/acs-community-packaging)
- Community Docker images are published on [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/alfresco/alfresco-content-repository-community/tags?page=1&ordering=last_updated)
- Enterprise Platform versions are built by [acs-packaging](https://github.com/Alfresco/acs-packaging)
- Enterprise Docker images are published on *Quay.io*
