JAR not available at adobe repositories

try compiling your maven project with:

<dependency>
                <groupId>com.adobe.aem</groupId>
                <artifactId>aem-api</artifactId>
                <version>6.0.0.1</version>
                <scope>provided</scope>
            </dependency>

com.adobe.aem:aem-api:6.0.0.1 is a fat jar that provides all these api dependencies:

1.  com.adobe.cq.*;
2.  com.adobe.granite.*;
3. com.adobe.internal.xmp.*; com.adobe.xmp.*;
4.  com.day.cq.*;
5.  com.day.crx.*;
6. org.apache.jackrabbit.*;
7.  org.apache.sling.*;

Hi,

Thanks for the response.  I am looking for com.adobe.cq.social.socialcommunities-parent jar which is not part of the dependency specified above.

I have asked members of the AEM social team to look at this question. 

Please see if this information, written for AEM 6.1 [0], is helpful for CQ 5.6.1 and version 1.4 of the social communities package.

You would need to look in your package manager to see what version of social communities package you have installed in order to specify the version to Maven correctly.

Maven Dependency Example
The Communities API jar should be specified before the Quickstart API jar.

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.adobe.cq.social</groupId>
    <artifactId>cq-socialcommunities-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.7.197</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.day.cq.</groupId>
    <artifactId>cq-quickstart</artifactId>
    <version>6.1.0</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
    <classifier>apis</classifier>
</dependency>

Hi Jai1122,

The individual social component jars should not be used as dependencies in your project due to the fact that they are not available on the public maven repository. They are not public intentionally due to security and policy. The classes needed for a project are available in the api jars. So if your project uses dependencies defined as follows, then the component jars and the parent will not be required. Please use the following in your project pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.adobe.cq.social</groupId>
    <artifactId>cq-socialcommunities-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.7.197</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.day.cq.</groupId>
    <artifactId>cq-quickstart</artifactId>
    <version>6.1.0</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
    <classifier>apis</classifier>
</dependency>

Be sure and change the versions to the correct values to match your project. i.e. change cq-quickstart jar to match the version of AEM that you're running, and change the cq-socialcommunities-api version to match the version of cq-socialcommunities-pkg that is installed in your AEM instance

Hi JK,

   I am using AEM 5.6.1 and  cq-socialcommunities-pkg 1.4.206. 

I added the dependecies as folows

   <dependency>
            <groupId>com.adobe.cq.social</groupId>
            <artifactId>cq-socialcommunities-api</artifactId>
            <version>1.4.206</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.day.cq.</groupId>
            <artifactId>cq-quickstart</artifactId>
            <version>5.6.1</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
            <classifier>apis</classifier>
        </dependency>

and getting an error saying Missing artifact com.day.cq.:cq-quickstart:jar:apis:5.6.1. I tried changing the cq-quickstart dependency to 6.1.0 but as expected it is not working.

Just to clarify, it may be that your basic problem is trying to build dependencies on individual social communities jars instead of the Communities API jar.
