AEM 6.3 - Maven build is successful but still doesn't install content

I am facing this weird issue where the maven build is successful but the content inside /apps,/etc, /conf doesn't gets installed. These are some of the use cases when this issue occurs:

1) Create a component in CRXde, export it to local filesystem using vlt up. Delete the component in CRXde. Do a maven build. No component present in CRXde. Although it is seen in the zip file created under target folder.

2) Checkout the project from git on a machine that doesn't have the project setup. Do a maven build. Only the folder structure will be seen in CRXde.

Some information about the project

-- Created a new project using lazybones

-- No changes to pom.xml made yet

-- Maven verison 3.5.0 and AEM 6.3 is being used.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I am not opposing File Vault but the best way to sync AEM and Eclipse is using AEM Eclipse Plugin.

Yes, Look here : Getting Started with AEM Sites Part 2 - Creating a Base Page and Template

There you will see how to sync between AEM and Eclipse using AEM Eclipse Plugin.

Hope this helps!!

Hi,

Yes, Raja is correct. See what is present in filter.xml, whether you have included /apps, /etc,

However, I am retesting this article Developing your first Experience Manager 6.3 Components and let you know my findings.

Note: I highly recommend AEM Eclipse plugin for syncing with AEM and Eclipse or vice versa(Vault is very old)

Thanks,

Ratna

Here is what would describe my problem:

Did the maven build and here is what I find in CRXde

There are no components inside content and structure folders.

This is how the filter.xml looks like:

Follow the exact directions as Ratna specified. Follow the articel and got those components deployed. Then do the same thing for your components.

Thank you Ratna. I have done this too and I am aware that it works. However, once you configure the filevault with this project using vlt --credentials admin:admin checkout -f ../META-INF/vault/filter.xml --force http://localhost:4502/crx

things change.

Do you suggest I should stop using fievault completely ? How would you advise I should export the components created in CRXde to eclipse or the local filesystem ?
