Please let me know what is wrong I am executing to create a project

Hi Ashish,

Looking at https://github.com/adobe/aem-project-archetype/issues/329, it looks like a symlink issue. 

See:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8228030/getting-filesystemexception-a-required-privilege-is-not-...

With Windows you can add a user to the list of who may create symbolic links (without disabling UAC) using security policies. Run "secpol.msc" and change "Security Settings|Local Policies|User Rights Assignment|Create symbolic links".

This is documented in https://github.com/adobe/aem-project-archetype/commit/6ecbe45ba14ed67412ed183500d1df5ad076c014, to change the way the dispatcher configuration is structured.

Thanks,

Thanks for the post! I tried using the AEM Maven Archetypes 13 with AEM 6.5 (from this link: https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/maven_arch13.html) but it didn't work. I installed the bundle it didn't show on CRXDE under /app. I tried using the same from here: https://github.com/adobe/aem-project-archetype but I got the error reported in this post. Then with the help of your post, and I had to fiddle with the command line until managed to get a successful build. Now I hope it will show-up under CRXDE under /apps.

There is a big issue with the help doc provided by Adobe. It needs a lot of work to improve the quality.

After I followed the instructions from "https://github.com/adobe/aem-project-archetype", I installed the mysite JAR bundle, and nothing showed up on CRXDE. Also, when I clicked on the bundle name from system console, I see a couple of errors such as "com.day.cq.wcm.api,version=[1.29,2) -- Cannot be resolved" and "org.apache.sling.api.resource,version=[2.12,3) -- Cannot be resolved". I appreciate your help.

I encountered the same problem once and was getting the exact same error as you mentioned.

Solution: Started command prompt with admin rights and ran the same command. It did work.
