Alfresco JVM Console

The purpose of this project is to execute Java and Kotlin code on Alfresco Content Services. It should be used only in development/prototyping stage.

The project consists of two parts: Alfresco Content Services platform module and IntelliJ plugin.

What does this project offer?

• Support for Java and Kotlin (Kotlin libraries must be present on Alfresco Content Services)
• Support for Spring dependency injection annotations (@Autowired, @Qualifier, @Value)
• Debugger support
• Code is compiled by IntelliJ and bytecode is sent to a server (it is executed directly from IntelliJ by the plugin)
• Compiled code may be added:
  • As a new ClassLoader (a child of the main ClassLoader) - a reference to a new ClassLoader is lost after code execution
  • To the main ClassLoader - loaded classes aren't removed after code execution and they can be used anywhere
