Hey guys!
I want that some javascript code is executed on the client side through a custom action. To gain some knowledge about this I went through the official documentation and tried the tutorial: Adding new actions to the Document Library | Alfresco Documentation. I am using the alfresco sdk 3 and need to generate a jar file instead of an AMP, so the file paths in the documentation are different from mine (at least as far as I know, I am new to all of this).
Where exactly do I need to put my custom javascript file? For now I have put it to src\main\resources\META-INF\resources\components\documentlibrary. In this directory I've also put a directory action/ where the icons for the custom share action are located. The problem is: I can see the custom action and even the icon in share but when I click on it, nothing happens. I assume I've used the wrong directory for the javascript file.

}
});I've tried enclosing custom-doclib-actions.js with
(function () { /* code from above */ })();but that didn't work either (I've read in some post that removing this enclosure solves the problem).
I would appreciate it a lot if someone had any tips for me.
