It’s my honor – and a a huge personal satisfaction after a few years working on this – to announce the full availability and support of the Alfresco Artifacts Repository, a fully fledged Maven repository hosting the major Alfresco releases and of its flourishing projects ecosystem, both for the Alfresco Community and Enterprise Networks.
For those of you already following this blog this might be no big news, as somehow the information was already around in the Alfresco-sphere and an Alfresco Maven repository has been already unofficially (AKA maintained by me) around for a while. But the great news is that now the repository is officially maintained and artifacts are kept up to date 🙂
Based on the Nexus OSS mature Artifact Repository technology, and following a few weeks Partner only beta, the repository is now publicly available at:
http://artifacts.alfresco.com (formerlyhttp://maven.alfresco.com)

What can you find in there (AKA the screenshot is not enough)? Very well, at the moment the Artifact Repository hosts:
- Alfresco Community full releases (JARs/WARs) identified with the groupId org.alfresco
- Easy unauthenticated Community access via the aggregated Public releases group. Check the wiki for Maven configuration settings!
- For an example on how to configure other build tools, check public examples
- NEW: Alfresco Enterprise full releases identified with the groupId org.alfresco.enterprise
- If you are an Alfresco Enterprise Customer or Partner you can follow the procedure described in the Alfresco Support KB article to gain access to the Enterprise repository.
- NEW: Alfresco Hotfix full releases identified with the groupId org.alfresco.enterprise
- This Alfresco Support KB article explains how to get access for Premiere and Premiere advantage customers.
- Activiti (BPMN 2.0 implementation) Releases and Snapshots
- All the versions of the open source Maven Alfresco Lifecycle, a long term but quickly growing Maven SDK approach to Alfresco development
- All Spring repository proxies, to ease Spring Surf development by only referring to this repository developing Surf
NOTE: At the moment no POM files / dependency declarations are available, but if you are interested please feel free to vote on this issue 🙂
Still not sure about the potential? Well, let me just give you an idea:
