6.2 Sling model Inject annotation

[Sutty100]

I've just updated from 6.1 to 6.2 and suddenly my sling models are causing problems. It seems like javax.inject is no longer available and so my bundle wont start. I have tried adding to my top level pom a dependancy but it is still not happy.

Error:

javax.inject,version=[0.0,1) -- Cannot be resolved

Dependancy added:

            <dependency>

                <groupId>javax.inject</groupId>

                <artifactId>javax.inject</artifactId>

            </dependency>

Hi,

Please add:-

<dependency> 
    <groupId>org.apache.geronimo.specs</groupId> 
    <artifactId>geronimo-atinject_1.0_spec</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version> 
    <scope>provided</scope> 
</dependency>

1. Go to depfinder:- http://localhost:4502/system/console/depfinder 

2. add "javax.inject.Inject"

Result will be:- 

I hope this will help you.

Thanks and Regards

Got it thanks, wasn't aware of the dependency finder tool so thanks for that as well!

I think this has to do with some dependency referencing specific to AEM 6.2.

A solution can be found here http://www.codermag.net/2016/10/javax-inject-version-cannot-be-resolved-in-AEM.html

I'm able to find javax.inject.Inject as shown in the screenshot, what do i need to do then? I cannot see my project's package here in the list though? And the error still persists. My bundle is not Active.

The link shared by Scott actually contains the solution for this problem. Adding the below so that it can save some time to straight way have the fix.

Problem:

created a AEM project using Maven archetype and when installing to AEM 6.3 I find the below error.

1. javax.inject,version=[0.0,1) -- Cannot be resolved

Solution:

Adding below to the core pom.xml

<dependency>

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

<artifactId>uber-jar</artifactId>

<classifier>obfuscated-apis</classifier>

        </dependency>

        <dependency>

<groupId>org.apache.geronimo.specs</groupId>

<artifactId>geronimo-atinject_1.0_spec</artifactId>

        </dependency>

Adding below to main pom.xml

<dependency>

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

<artifactId>uber-jar</artifactId>

<version>6.3.0</version>

<classifier>obfuscated-apis</classifier>

<scope>provided</scope>

</dependency>

           <dependency>

<groupId>org.apache.geronimo.specs</groupId>

<artifactId>geronimo-atinject_1.0_spec</artifactId>

<version>1.0</version>

<scope>provided</scope>

</dependency>

I got the solutions, please find add the below code in core pom.xml file(i.e. find <instructions> and next to add <Import-Package>javax.inject;version=0.0.0,*</Import-Package>). The below solutions is required because in aem 6.2 default javax.inject is there so we just need to import this.

<instructions>

<Import-Package>javax.inject;version=0.0.0,*</Import-Package>
