Hi,

As I am trying to upgrade from AEM 6.1 to AEM 6.4, I need to change the extension of all the classes from WCMUse to WCMUsePojo. Have added the required dependency in the projects parent pom.xml as well :

<groupId>com.adobe.aem</groupId>

<classifier>obfuscated-apis</classifier>

<scope>provided</scope>

</dependency>

But I am getting the following error during the maven build of the project:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.felix:maven-scr-plugin:1.7.4:scr (generate-scr-descriptor) on project abcd: Execution generate-scr-descriptor of goal org.apache.felix:maven-scr-plugin:1.7.4:scr failed: An API incompatibility was encountered while executing org.apache.felix:maven-scr-plugin:1.7.4:scr: java.lang.VerifyError: Constructor must call super() or this() before return

Also I have a doubt if it is compatible to use Maven Archtype 11 in AEM 6.4

SCR annotations are deprecated from 6.2 and hence the dependencies needs to be added separately to the POM. Can you please add

<dependency>

<groupId>org.osgi</groupId>

<artifactId>osgi.cmpn</artifactId>

<version>6.0.0</version>

</dependency>

as mentioned in [1]

It is recommeded to migrate to osgi R6/R7 as part of upgrade process. I used [2] as the reference.

Is maven-scr-plugin:1.7.4 generated by archetype 11 or is it carried over from your 6.1 pom.xml?

A best practice - It’s recommended to place Uber jar at the bottom of the dependency list so that Maven will honor any newer versions of dependencies that is explicitly declared inside the project POM.

Hi gauravb10066713,

Is maven-scr-plugin:1.7.4 generated by archetype 11 or is it carried over from your 6.1 pom.xml?

Ans:::::::::: The maven-scr-plugin:1.7.4 is carried over from 6.1 pom.xml.

As I am working on migration from AEM 6.1 to 6.4, I am slow and steadily changing the existing code targeting the backward incompatible code first.

As suggested I have kept the Uber jar at the bottom of the dependency list.

If you plan to keep SCR annotations in 6.4 then update the jar versions. e.g. try using 1.20.0 or above for maven-scr-plugin and 1.9.0 for scr-annotations. Similar approach goes for compile time dependencies/plugins like 'servlet-api' etc.

A clean & time saving approach would be to use maven archetype and create a new project from scratch if that's feasible.

You could also choose a hit n trial approach - create a reference project using maven archetype and then utilize specific jar/versions into your existing project as required.

As Nirmal mentioned above, if you plan to utilize OSGI annotations, then update osgi related artifacts & versions.

I agree - update to the latest OSGi standards.
