Is there any information if and when AEM On-Premise (AEM 6.5) will support running on Java 17 or later?I do not want to get stuck with Java 11 forever. 😞

Hi, Groovy console was one of heavily used dependencies in AEM projects I was working on. As far as I understand using the /apps/groovyconsole admin panel will not be an option for AEM as a cloud but I am exploring the ability to run groovy scripts automatically. Could you please advise what is the recommended approach for using groovy console in AEM as a Cloud world ? Do you see any scenario that would be problematic for AEM as a cloud ? Could you also advise what's the recommended way to install groovy console in AEM as Cloud ? In old deployments we just installed a zip package via crx manager but it seems that this is not an option for AEM as a Cloud.   I also wonder whether there is a recommended approach for handling content migrations and updates for AEM as a Cloud service?

Hello Community,We are in the process of implementing an integration with Adobe Target. Our goal is to sync the segments from Target, which we are able to do successfully. My question is: if we personalize content in AEM for different audiences, how are the segments resolved? I understand that we need to call Target (using mbox and passing parameters if required), but I would like to confirm—based on the response from Target, is the content on the page updated accordingly? For this implementation, we are not using any A/B testing or experience targeting from Target. We are only pulling the segments and authoring the content in AEM. I want to understand what role Adobe Target plays as an engine in this scenario. If anyone has implemented a similar setup, could you please share your experience or advice? Thank you.

I've been following the WKND tutorial again (https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-learn/getting-started-wknd-tutorial-develop/project-archetype/component-basics)Although it was going well, I've now run into an issue where 'npm run watch' does absolutely nothing similar to what happens in the instructor's video. I first followed the tutorial on my own project which I made from just the archetype, and when reaching the part where I'm supposed to run 'npm run watch', it ran a localhost:8080 instance instead of just building the frontend, and it ended up completely removing any and all CSS on the actual pages I wanted to work on when I ran it like the tutorial did. After debugging and searching for a while I simply gave up on that end due to not finding any answers. At first I believed it to be an issue with my project, so I cloned it from the github repository provided by the tutorial, switched to the tutorial/component-basics-solution and ran 'npm run watch'

Universal Editor with Classic AEM Components by @daniel-strmecki   Introduction The Universal Editor is Adobe's new, modern content editing interface for AEM. It provides a seamless editing experience across sites, experience, and content fragments. While it’s tailored for headless and edge delivery, as the name suggests, it is designed to be universal. Therefore, it can be used for editing any website, regardless of the framework or technology used to deliver it. This includes classic AEM delivery that uses components built with HTL and Sling. In this post, we'll walk through the steps required to make classic AEM components work with the Universal Editor. We'll demonstrate the feasibility of this approach, while also discussing whether and when it makes sense to migrate and what alternatives we should consider first.   Key points Adobe 's Universal Editor is definitely the future of AEM authoring. It is modern, headless, editor-friendly, and designe

Wow—What a Kickoff! 🎉 On 12th August 2025, the London AEM User Group held its very first session—and the energy was off the charts! Over 20 AEM pros tuned in for a lively, practical conversation on the question every team is weighing right now:👉Should we move to AEM 6.5 LTS or AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS), including Edge Delivery Services (EDS)? The chat was buzzing, the questions were sharp, and more than a few people admitted this decision feels like “choosing between two favourite children.” &#x1f605 Honestly, you had to be there—the mix of energy and ideas was contagious.This wasn’t just another meetup; it felt like the foundation of a local AEM family, where curiosity and collaboration take center stage. A recording of the 42-minute session is available for anyone who couldn’t attend live.        Speaker Highlights 🎤  @jineet_vora , VP Lead Software EngineerBroke down why the question isn’t “Which is better?” but “Which i

Hi All, I see some issues with Repoinit. I'm using the script below to apply permissions to all the child nodes under /content/experience-fragments/global-branding. The permissions are being applied only to the folder and not to the XFs (cq:Page). Specifically, only the read permission is being applied, not the modify permission. I have even deleted the service user and reinstalled the packages, but no luck.Has anyone encountered a similar issue?

Test Automation on AEMaaCS (part 2) by @daniel-strmecki   Introduction In the first part of our test automation blog series, we explored why test automation is essential for AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS), where continuous delivery and shared code ownership simply make manual testing inefficient. We covered the four pillars of a robust testing strategy:  Unit tests to catch backend bugs early UI tests to protect the end user and authoring experience Lighthouse tests to ensure great frontend performance and SEO Backend performance tests to validate scalability With these foundations in place, in the second part, we'll focus on automating test execution and reporting, turning strategy into action. First, we'll discuss which tooling options are available for writing and executing different types of tests in AEMaaCS. Then, we'll check which automation options are available in Cloud Manager. Finally, we'll demonstrate how to get this type of automati

Email Integration with OAuth SMTP  by Ashwini SatheOverviewAEM as a Cloud Service offers OAuth 2 support for its integrated Mail Service to allow organisations to adhere to secure email requirements. AEM’s DefaultMailService supports both Basic and OAuth 2 authentication. Basic authentication is easy to achieve but might not support modern security requirements. OAuth 2 is more secure than basic authentication.OAuth 2 support is available in AEM for multiple email providers like gmail, outlook etc. Here we will be mainly focusing on Microsoft Office 365 Outlook.Before we start with the setup, we need to consider below requirementsIs client SMTP public/internet or private/intranet? — If it is public, then we have to enable flexible egress in advanced networking on AEM as a Cloud Service. If it is private, then dedicated egress needs to be enabled and the dedicated IP needs to be whitelisted.Which SMTP port? — SMTP on ports 25/587/468 needs to be enabled by 

How to Programmatically Send Notifications to Users in AEMby NeerajI have always wondered how we could notify users after executing background logic using AEM Sling Jobs. Unlike workflows with built-in notification mechanisms, there didn’t seem to be a direct way to inform users once a job was completed. This led me to explore different options, and that’s when I came across the TaskManager API.So just for the context: AEM includes an Inbox feature that enables users to receive notifications for assigned tasks. While workflows automatically trigger these notifications, we can use TaskManager API to send these notifications programmatically Full ArticleRead the full article with implementation on https://medium.com/@neerajchaudhary856/how-to-programmatically-send-notifications-to-users-in-aem-c198673a89bf Q&APlease use this thread to ask questions relating to this article

Revisiting a Natural ConclusionIt's not uncommon to get a request to migrate all of your production content to a lower environment. Almost all of the use cases are some variation of: "we need to have a full set of content in non-production to do regression testing." This is a natural conclusion to reach to ensure that all of the content is working as expected. While the intention is good, it's not the best approach. There are a few reasons to explore that can help lead to a better path.Validation at Scale is a Tall Order - Even the most dedicated testing and validation teams can't validate all content. Keeping the tests in order to match production requires a lot of effort that isn't realistic to achieve.Resource Efficiency Matters - The migration of production content will use considerable resources in non-production. It's like filling a model home with furnishings when the house won't ever be used.Syncing can Steal the Spotlight - Instead of having resources bringing value to other p
