Hi,

Can you please let me know the difference between curl and filevault.i know that both are used to checkin/checkout resources from  cq.

also please let me which one better?

Thanks in advance!!

Some people like CURL and others like VLT. You are correct  -  both tools can be used to place content in the Adobe CQ JCR.

Here is a good community article on using VLT:

How to use SVN with VLT in CQ / WEM

Likewise - here is some good information on using CURL and CQ:

CURL it out – Adobe CQ5 Curl Commands and Usage

Which one is better - its a matter of preference. I am sure that other community members will discuss which one they like better. 

Actually - if you are looking at all ways to get content (like binary files) into the Adobe CQ JCR - you have a 3rd way as well. You can use the JCR JAVA API to get content into the JCR. See this community article for that discussion:

curl and vlt operate at two different levels of the network stack. curl is a command line HTTP client. vlt is a JCR client application which synchronizes a directory on disk with a JCR repository. vlt can also synchronize the content between two JCR repositories. While vlt does communicate with the repository over HTTP, at some level this is an implementation detail - you cannot use vlt as a generic HTTP client.

Thanks it is really important info, the doubt got cleared from a long time :).

Can you guide me if i checkout the repositery from cq using filevault then what are the steps i need to do import the code in eclipse.

Note:So far i've used maven build tool to build the bundle and import in felix console but i've not played with content(JCR) to import/export.

Thanks again!
