AEM (maven) project with forms

[AravindSe2]

How to create a mvn project with aem forms packages? I need to use this import "com.adobe.fd.output.api.PostProcess" to write a custom post process for letters.

AEM version : 6.5.22.0

Hi @AravindSe2,

Please use the below command to create the latest maven project for AEM Forms development.

mvn -B org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:3.2.1:generate -D archetypeGroupId=com.adobe.aem -D archetypeArtifactId=aem-project-archetype -D archetypeVersion=53 -D appTitle="MyForm" -D appId="myform" -D groupId="com.myform" -D includeFormsenrollment="y" -D aemVersion="6.5.22"

Thanks
Pranay

Hi @Pranay_M ,

Thanks for your reply, i created the project but while building getting the below error

Hi @AravindSe2,

Based on the screenshot, it seems that the issue might be related to the permissioning. Can you please make sure the project is created properly and has all the required permissions. Also please make sure you have the correct MAVEN version and Java installed on the system.

Thanks
Pranay

HI @Pranay_M ,

Thank for your comment, I have checked the permission (ran using admin creds), mvn and java also fine. Still got the same kind of issue.

Hello @AravindSe2 

Can you try creating the maven archetype in "Desktop" folder and then run the maven build.

Windows sometimes have permissions issue with Downloads folder.

You can also create a new folder in C:/ drive and test the same.

Hello @AravindSe2 

Can you please try with below command:

mvn -B org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:3.2.1:generate -D archetypeGroupId=com.adobe.aem -D archetypeArtifactId=aem-project-archetype -D archetypeVersion=52 -D appTitle="MyForm" -D appId="myform" -D groupId="com.myform" -D includeFormsenrollment="y" -D aemVersion="6.5.22"

I am able to build with above command.

There might be an issue with archetype 53 so I have changed it back to 52.

Thanks,

Hi @rahulpandey27 ,

I tried that command as well, got the same kind of error. My requirement is to use the import for this "com.adobe.fd.output.api.PostProcess", i need to create the custom post process and that needs to be called while submitting the letter. Please let me know if you have any reference for this.

Thanks,

Hi @kautuk_sahni ,

I found other way to achieve (override the ootb submit button api). Still the above issue persists, if i find some more, will add and mark. Thanks
