This project is intended to demonstrate the new extensibility features of Alfresco Share 4.0 and to make it easy to define your own modules.
Share Modules are a new feature in Alfresco 4.0 and allow pages to be customised at the region, component or even the mark-up level.
The project builds on the SDK Sample Dashlet and uses the same project structure, Ant build script and Eclipse project configuration, but is suitable for developing more complex customizations such as the examples in Dave Draper’s tutorials.
