Hello all,
I had an issue recently when trying to use the latest AEM Maven Archetype (23) for my personal use.
Problem
I used the following command (based on the command provided in the README):
mvn -B archetype:generate \
-D archetypeGroupId=com.adobe.granite.archetypes \
-D archetypeArtifactId=aem-project-archetype \
-D archetypeVersion=23 \
-D appTitle="My Site" \
-D appId="mysite" \
-D groupId="com.mysite" \
-D frontendModule=general \
-D includeExamples=n
It resulted in the following error:
Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:3.0.1:generate (default-cli) on project standalone-pom: Execution default-cli of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:3.0.1:generate failed: A required class was missing while executing org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:3.0.1:generate: org/apache/ivy/Ivy
Solution
I solved the issue by specifying the latest version of maven-archetype-plugin (v3.1.2):
mvn -B org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:3.1.2:generate \
-D archetypeGroupId=com.adobe.granite.archetypes \
-D archetypeArtifactId=aem-project-archetype \
-D archetypeVersion=23 \
-D appTitle="My Site" \
-D appId="mysite" \
-D groupId="com.mysite" \
-D frontendModule=general \
-D includeExamples=n
Which results in:
...
