I have been writing blog posts on HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and Angular. Just to take my blog beyond Frontend and also to share my knowledge on other technologies with Developer community, I have decided to write articles on Adobe Experience Manager as well.
This is the first post on AEM, and I will show you how to create simple AEM project using Apache Maven.
Come on in..
Apache Maven:
Skip this portion of the article if you already have Apache Maven installed in your machine.
You must have Apache Maven 3.3.9+ installed in your machine before you start creating AEM project.
Follow this article from Apache – Installing Apache Maven, to install and configure Maven in your machine.
Once after you installed Maven, just check if it was installed successfully by running below command:
$ mvn -version
Apache Maven 3.6.3 (cecedd343002696d0abb50b32b541b8a6ba2883f)
Maven home: H:Softwaresapache-maven-3.6.3
Java version: 1.8.0_241, vendor: Oracle Corporation, runtime: C:Program FilesJavajdk1.8.0_241jre
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: Cp1252
OS name: "windows 10", version: "10.0", arch: "amd64", family: "windows"Generate AEM project:
We will use Maven Archetype aem-project-archetype to create AEM project with below properties:
| Property Name | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| archetypeGroupId | com.adobe.aem | Archetype Group ID |
| archetypeArtifactId | aem-project-archetype | Archetype ID |
| archetypeVersion | 24 | Archetype Version |
| appTitle | “My eLearning Site” | Application Title |
| appId | “elearning” | Application ID |
| groupId | “com.pgguru.elearning” | App Group ID |
| aemVersion | “cloud” | AEM Version – you can also use 6.5.5, 6.3 etc., |
Check AEM Project Archetype for other Archetype properties.
Run Maven Command:
Run below command to generate Maven project.
mvn -B archetype:generate
-D archetypeGroupId=com.adobe.aem
-D archetypeArtifactId=aem-project-archetype
-D archetypeVersion=24
-D appTitle="My eLearning Site"
-D appId="elearning"
-D groupId="com.pgguru.elearning"
-D aemVersion="cloud" Project should have been created and you should see folder structure like below:
In the next post, I will talk about how to build and deploy the above project o local AEM runtime (Instance).
Please do share if you have something to say about this article in the comment section down below.
Happy learning!
