Creating Bundles In CRXDE Lie AEM 6.2

Hi,

I want to Create Bundles using CRXDE Lite.

AEM 6.2 documentation says that there is a "Create Bundle" option in CRXDE.

But, I am not able to find it. (See the attachment).

Kindly suggest.

Thanks,

Rama.

The answer is you do not create bundles in CRXDE lite. That is a terrible practice.

You build bundles using Maven. See this artilce for single bundles:

If you are using AEM 6.2 - you can use Maven Archetype 10:

Hi Rama,

I think this option was in CQ5 as per http://www.hsufengko.com/home/develop-osgi-bundle-using-adoble-cq-crxde-lite

However I am using AEM 6.2, and I am also not seeing this option to create a bundles as mentioned https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-2/develop/dev-tools/developing-with-crxde-lite.html

in this case, @Scott and @Kautuk can help us!

Hi Scott,

My question is more on the capability and documentation.

The documentation says the option is available, but I do not see it on the tool.

Kindly clarify whether this capability is there on the tool or not?

Thanks,

Rama.

Hi Rama

Thanks for pointing out on this. This is really a nice community work.

I will point this to documentation team so that they can help you out on this.

Where as i will recommend you not to use CRXDE lite for creation of bundles. It is recommended to use the AEM Developer Tools for Eclipse and the AEM HTL Brackets Extension during project development.

This option is available until 6.1, but does not appear to be available in 6.2.

However, I've checked the Release Notes and can find nothing about it being removed/deprecated.

We will open an internal issue for this to be clarified and confirmed.

Hi Rama,

As Scott stated, creating bundles in CRXDE Lite is bad practice.
Always create bundles using Maven.

And yes Kautuk also right, you can do it by Eclipse with AEM Plugin and Brackets extension.
