    That requirement is not best practice when working with AEM. Best practice is to place Java into OSGi bundles and build OSGi bundles using Maven. See this article on how to use Maven  Archetype 10:

    For community members reading this thread and using an earlier version of AEM (ie 6) - see:

    Hope this helps

    Sightly Java should definitely go into an OSGi bundle - see this article:

    Has this changed. The Adobe document recommends writing the java class within the component if the use class is specific to the component. here is the link HTL Java Use-API

    Any comments?

    Never use CRXDE lite to write Java Classes for an HTL Component - always build your Java using a Maven Project and deploy to AEM. See Adobe Experience Manager Help | Creating an Adobe Experience Manager HTML Template Language component that uses the WCMU…
