Hello @NagendraBa3 

Could you please confirm your SDK release version?

Starting April release, we are shipping the core components included in the AEM forms-addon far file.

You might want to remove the core components installed in /apps/core/fd to avoid any duplicity.

Please test this and let us know if you face any further issues.

Thanks,

Rahul Pandey

Hello @NagendraBa3 ,

In case you are using AEM SDK for AEM v2025.4.20476.20250414T214138Z-250300, then can you just remove the embed of following from all/pom.xml:

<embedded>
    <groupId>com.adobe.aem</groupId>
    <artifactId>core-forms-components-af-apps</artifactId>
    <type>zip</type>
   <target>/apps/${appId}-vendor-packages/application/install</target>
</embedded>

and

<embedded>
   <groupId>com.adobe.aem</groupId>
   <artifactId>core-forms-components-af-core</artifactId>
   <target>/apps/${appId}-vendor-packages/application/install</target>
</embedded>

Basically, now these are part of product, you are embedding versions:

  <core.forms.components.version>2.0.76</core.forms.components.version>

  <core.forms.components.af.version>2.0.76</core.forms.components.af.version>

Whereas with this sdk, 3.0.104 is available in product OOTB. Additionally either core pom.xml needs to be updated, one will need to update the range of import (bolded portion is the one that is added) or if its not being consumed in customization, then you can go ahead and remove the dependencies of artifacts core-forms-components-core and core-forms-components-af-core

<plugin>
                <groupId>biz.aQute.bnd</groupId>
                <artifactId>bnd-maven-plugin</artifactId>

                        <configuration>
                            <bnd><![CDATA[

                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>

Also make sure older bundles of core components are uninstalled and trashed.

@Rahul_P   , @Sakshi5 

after removing suggested code , 

"all" package build is getting failed. 

do we need to remove it any other place ?

please advice 

[Sakshi5]

Yes you will either need to update core pom.xml with the range, (the bolded part is the addition) or if its not being consumed in customization, then you can go ahead and remove the dependencies of artifacts core-forms-components-core and core-forms-components-af-core:

we definitely need 

com.adobe.cq.forms.core.components imports in our code 

Please advice

[Sakshi5]

Hi @NagendraBa3 , make sure the older bundles are uninstalled and trashed.

[SwathiSa6]

@Sakshi5  

used new author instance 2025.4.20476.20250414T214138Z-250300

and build whole project, bundle is still having same error 

[Sakshi5]

@SwathiSa6 / @NagendraBa3 

Is this some other bundle at your end other than core?


if so you will need to add the same import 

com.adobe.cq.forms.core.components.models.form;version="[5.0.0,6.0.0)"

 in the that bundle which is not getting active.

Also you have updated the versions in the main pom as well, right?

<core.forms.components.version>2.0.76</core.forms.components.version>

  <core.forms.components.af.version>2.0.76</core.forms.components.af.version>

to

<core.forms.components.version>3.0.104</core.forms.components.version>

  <core.forms.components.af.version>3.0.104</core.forms.components.af.version>

[SwathiSa6]

above screen shot is our main project bundle 
below core bundle is no longer installed after removing given embeds in our project
AEM Forms Core Components - AF Core Bundlecom.adobe.aem.core-forms-components-af-core 

[Sakshi5]

Is the issue resolved now?

[SwathiSa6]

Not Yet 

getting these errors

[Sakshi5]

Did you modify the import-package for this bundle? What is current import-package of bundle? Since this bundle is dependent on <artifactId>core-forms-components-af-core</artifactId>, for 

com.adobe.cq.forms.core.components.models.form

You will need to get the version updated to 3.0.104, as that dictates the dependency of bundle. 

[SwathiSa6]

still getting the same error

[Sakshi5]

@SwathiSa6  If we have changed the import-package in configuration for bnd-maven-plugin, how come this bundle is still importing older version? Can you clean the target in the project manually and re-build the bundle, because it should have updated the imports.

[SwathiSa6]

Hi @Sakshi5 

changes made
1.)

2.)

3.)

4.) i  deleted target folder in core then deployed


Final Output

[Sakshi5]

And can you check that if only one version, that is, 3.0.104 version is there for both these bundles:
AEM Forms Core Components - AF Core Bundle com.adobe.aem.core-forms-components-af-core
AEM Forms Core Components - Core Bundle com.adobe.aem.core-forms-components-core

and these bundles are also active

[SwathiSa7]

yes, we have only one version that is 3.0.104 installed.
