I'm investigating Alfresco and Nuxeo to choose which is better for my company's requirement. The first thing I was looking for is the ability to add custom properties to document easly without the need to a dev tools but just a text editor or something.
/> In Alfresco community, I was able to add custom properties and apply some constraint using "Aspect", just by creating 3 xml files and one properties file, no "jar" no "manifest" just server restart.
/>

Is it possible to achieve the same with NUXEO, the is very important as I'm inclined more toward Nuxeo.

You can do it by naming your xml file with whatever_your_want-config.xml (only the -config.xml part is important), and put it in the config directory of your server:

• $NUXEO/nxserver/config for a Tomcat distribution,
• $NUXEO/server/default/deploy/nuxeo.ear/config for a JBoss distribution.
