Adobe Experience Manager Forms

shrsai · 1/12/26

Hi,
I am trying to setup a forms code which is provided by adobe, I followed all the steps what is needed for settling the code setup.

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-65/content/forms/adaptive-forms-core-c...

I copied the commands and paste it to command prompt through this doc, I got the code but wen I am trying to build the code it is throwing the error which I don't get it.

Can anybody tell me what can be the issue?

Hi @shrsai,

Could you please share the command to create an AEM Archetype project? Also, kindly confirm if this is for on-prem or for a cloud environment. Finally, please specify the version for AEM Archetype.

For Reference I am providing you with the correct commands:

AEM as a cloud Service:
mvn -B org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:3.3.1:generate -D archetypeGroupId=com.adobe.aem -D archetypeArtifactId=aem-project-archetype -D archetypeVersion=56 -D appTitle=myheadlessform -D appId=myheadlessform -D groupId=com.myheadlessform -D includeFormsheadless="y"

AEM on Prem:
mvn -B org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:3.3.1:generate -D archetypeGroupId=com.adobe.aem -D archetypeArtifactId=aem-project-archetype -D archetypeVersion=56 -D appTitle="MyForm" -D appId="myform" -D groupId="com.myform" -D includeFormsenrollment="y" -D aemVersion="6.5.24"(Update "aemVersion" depending on your AEM Version)

Thanks
Pranay

Hi Pranay,

Thank you for your reply!

It is AEM On-Prem:

AEM version: 6.5.23

Archetype version: 35

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=35 ^

-D appTitle="My Form" ^

-D appId="myform" ^

-D groupId="com.myform" ^

-D includeFormsenrollment="y" ^

-D aemVersion="6.5.23"

Build is failing with this:

Hi @shrsai ,

I can see that you are using a very old archetype. Request you to use the latest version of Maven Plugin and AEM Archetype. You can use the command below:

AEM on Prem:
mvn -B org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:3.3.1:generate -D archetypeGroupId=com.adobe.aem -D archetypeArtifactId=aem-project-archetype -D archetypeVersion=56 -D appTitle="MyForm" -D appId="myform" -D groupId="com.myform" -D includeFormsenrollment="y" -D aemVersion="6.5.23"

Thanks
Pranay

Hi Khushwant,

No not yet, I still need help!

Thanks!

Hi @shrsai,

Can you please tell me what issue do you see right now with the latest Archetype. Also please let me know the version of Maven and Java that you are using.

Thanks
Pranay
