how to use ACS commons classes in my maven project?

TLDR: My problem is that when I'm inside my IDE (in this case it's IntelliJ), the IDE cannot find "com.adobe.acs"

Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks

---------------------------

1. So I already have these 2 entries in my pom file

<embedded> <artifactId>acs-aem-commons-all</artifactId> <target>/apps/my-app-vendor-packages/container/install</target> <filter>true</filter> <isAllVersionsFilter>true</isAllVersionsFilter> </embedded><dependency> <groupId>com.adobe.acs</groupId> <artifactId>acs-aem-commons-all</artifactId> <classifier>cloud</classifier> <version>6.14.0</version> <type>zip</type> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.adobe.acs</groupId> <artifactId>acs-aem-commons-bundle</artifactId> <version>6.14.0</version> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency>

It auto-installed the ACS commons package in my package manager.


2. I can also see this JAR file in my home directory.

/home/myuser/.m2/repository/com/adobe/acs/acs-aem-commons-bundle-cloud/6.14.0/acs-aem-commons-bundle-cloud-6.14.0.jar


3. I have sync and reloaded maven in my IDE.

Hi @jayv25585659 ,

 

IntelliJ cannot find com.adobe.acs because the wrong artifact is used in your pom.xml. The acs-aem-commons-all is only a content package (ZIP) and acs-aem-commons-bundle doesn’t exist for Cloud. You need to use the correct artifact acs-aem-commons-bundle-cloud. Update your dependency as below:

<dependency>
<groupId>com.adobe.acs</groupId>
<artifactId>acs-aem-commons-bundle-cloud</artifactId>
<version>6.14.0</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>


Then run mvn clean install -U and reimport Maven in IntelliJ. If issues remain, clear IntelliJ caches. This will resolve the com.adobe.acs imports.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Vishal

    according to this page (https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/pages/maven.html), there are no artifact called "-cloud" (like what you wrote) for maven.


    this is the suggestion given (which is exactly/very similar to mine)

    <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.jackrabbit</groupId> <artifactId>filevault-package-maven-plugin</artifactId> ... <configuration> <embeddeds> <embedded> <!-- the artifact with the given id from the project dependencies is embedded --> <artifactId>acs-aem-commons-all</artifactId> <target>/apps/my-app-vendor-packages/container/install</target> <filter>true</filter> <isAllVersionsFilter>true</isAllVersionsFilter> </embedded> ... </embeddeds> ... </configuration> ... </plugin> </plugins> ... <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>com.adobe.acs</groupId> <artifactId>acs-aem-commons-all</artifactId> <classifier>cloud</classifier> <version>6.14.0</version> <type>zip</type> </dependency> ... </dependencies>

    Hi @jayv25585659 ,

    Its working for me  in core/pom.xml file

    <dependency> <groupId>com.adobe.acs</groupId> <artifactId>acs-aem-commons-bundle</artifactId> <version>6.14.0</version> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency>

    right click on project(intellij ide) -> maven -> sync project
    works for me.
