AEM 6.0 Developer tools for Eclipse Issue

[Former Community Member]

Hi All,

I have completed the whole setup in Eclipse using docs.adobe.com/docs/en/dev-tools/aem-eclipse.html link. I have some doubts.

1) AEM developer tool sync AEM repository to Eclipse OR Eclipse to AEM repository ? I created a file under 
D:\AEM WrkSpc\projectname\ui.apps\src\main\content\jcr_root\apps\projectname\components\ which got updated in AEM repo but when I created one folder it didn't. I want to know how this whole logic works.

2) I make changes in sample file "/project.core/src/main/java/com/companyname/projectname/core/impl/HelloServiceImpl.java". If I want to see these changes in AEM repo do I need to create a bundle of it manually or developer tool auto deploys it ?(I am not getting changes in AEM repo if it is auto deploy)

I want to dig deep into it. Please provide some link for reference.

Thanks

When you follow that topic - you are using a Sling plug-in. There may be issues with the Sling plug-in. See the KnownList that is referenced from that topic.

Basically when developing AEM projects in Eclipse- you have to sync the code between Eclipse and the JCR. A plug-in is suppose to do this task. 

However -- there is another way you can sync code between Eclipse and the JCR. You can use the vault too. See this community article to learn how to use Eclipse and sync code via vault:
