Answer 1

As the Maven error message explains, the Alfresco Maven SDK is not available in Maven central. It is only available from the Alfresco Artifacts Maven repository
You therefore need to add this snippet into your pom:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>alfresco-public</id>
<url>https://artifacts.alfresco.com/nexus/content/groups/public</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
You can find out more from the Alfresco Maven SDK wiki page and the Alfresco Artifacts Maven Repository wiki page
