Error with Alfresco SDK 3.0.0 and Maven

[uilian]

I'm following this tutorial to build custom workflows with Alfresco Community 5.2:

- Creating Custom Advanced Workflows in Alfresco

The sample project is created like this:

$ mvn archetype:generate -Dfilter=org.alfresco.maven.archetype:alfresco-platform-jar-archetype

Then I've selected the correct archetype and the version 3.0.0, as recommended in the tutorial:

Choose archetype:
1: remote -> org.alfresco.maven.archetype:alfresco-platform-jar-archetype (Sample project with full support for lifecycle and rapid development of Platform/Repository JARs and AMPs (Alfresco Module Packages))
Choose a number or apply filter (format: [groupId:]artifactId, case sensitive contains): : 1
Choose org.alfresco.maven.archetype:alfresco-platform-jar-archetype version: 
1: 3.0.0
2: 3.0.1
Choose a number: : 1

This creates a simple project, which I should be able to run with the following command:

$ mvn clean install alfresco:run

But running this gives an error because some repositories are unreachable:

➜ mvn clean install alfresco:run

So, this is trying to pull some dependencies from repository which requires authentication:

Downloading: https://artifacts.alfresco.com/nexus/content/groups/private/org/alfresco/maven/alfresco-sdk-aggregat...

Should this be happening? Since Alfresco is an opensource project, shouldn't be possible to me to use it's SDK? I think the tutorial would mention if enterprise features were included. Anyone had the same experience?

[krutik_jayswal]

Either there is corrupted dependency in the .m2 folder for this http uri Or else you have some issue with network where it is blocking this dependencies to be downloaded in the system

First try to delete dependencies from .m2 folder only those jar for which you are getting the error.If not getting resolve, change the network.

Thank you, I don't know what exactly is going on with the original repo used in the tutorial, but after some more tests, I've found a workaround: changing the version of the Alfresco Maven Plugin from 3.0.0 to 3.0.1 let me build and run the sample application.

So, in the pom.xml I've got this section:

<build>     <plugins>         <!--             The Alfresco Maven Plugin contains all the logic to run the extension             in an embedded Tomcat with the H2 database.             -->         <plugin>             <groupId>org.alfresco.maven.plugin</groupId>             <artifactId>alfresco-maven-plugin</artifactId>            <version>${alfresco.sdk.version}</version>            <executions>                 <execution>                     <id>start-alfresco</id>                     <goals>                         <goal>it</goal>                     </goals>                     <phase>pre-integration-test</phase>                 </execution>             </executions>             <configuration>

And changed ${alfresco.sdk.version} to 3.0.1, like this:

<build>     <plugins>         <!--             The Alfresco Maven Plugin contains all the logic to run the extension             in an embedded Tomcat with the H2 database.             -->         <plugin>             <groupId>org.alfresco.maven.plugin</groupId>             <artifactId>alfresco-maven-plugin</artifactId>            <version>3.0.1</version>            <executions>                 <execution>                     <id>start-alfresco</id>                     <goals>                         <goal>it</goal>                     </goals>                     <phase>pre-integration-test</phase>                 </execution>             </executions>             <configuration>

Probably not the best solution, but seems to be working.
