AEM 6 / Maven build error on new aem-project-archetype : 8

[jason_tarry]

Hi all,

I'm using the Eclipse AEM Dev Tool to create a vanilla AEM 6 project using the new com.adobe.granite.archetypes : aem-project-archetype : 8

Which creates these modules/projects:

core        
it.launcher 
it.tests
ui.apps
ui.content

However if I build from the parent pom.xml (mvn clean install) I always get this error, even without any change:

[INFO] --- maven-install-plugin:2.5.2:install (default-install) @ example.it.launcher ---

Any ideas?

Hi Jason,

I had tried with aem-project-archetype : 7 and it works without any error. Can you try with the same and see if you find this issue

Yes I can see it working using archetype V7.

So what is the difference between V7 & V8 and what is the recommended archetype for new AEM 6.x projects?

Hi Jason,

I was recently setting up a project and that failed for me as well. I still used the latest project but ended up removing the launcher project. v8 fails everywhere by default. One of my colleagues attended Adobe meet in Salt Lake a few months back where they recommended using v8.

Cheers

archetypes are nothing but the maven project templating. I think AEM 6.0 is supported by maven-archetype-7 for its eclipse plugin. 

Refer these:

I too fought with this at first.

The integration tests attempt to fire off tests on the remote server, however you've got it setup. (at least I believe that is its intent).

I simply went into the it.launcher POM of and chagned a line of code:

<plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <skip>true</skip> <!--<skipIfEmpty>true</skipIfEmpty>--> </configuration> </plugin>

I commented out the skip if Empty, and forced the Skip. Then my project ran cleanly. I still need to dive a bit deeper on exactly what Integration tests are run, but that will let you build the project.
