Find adobe CQ5 files in windows

[devch]

Hi,

I am using Adobe CQ5, and just created a new .js file in project ( which checked out from perforce ). Now, I want to see those file in locally for eg, something like right click on js file and select 'show in explorer', which should open the file location in windows. But I couldnot figure it out ?

To open a CQ JS file (located in the AEM JCR), you need to use WebDev:  https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/crx/2-3/how_to/webdav_access.html

I actually created a new file in crx and went to intellij idea and refreshed it , but the created file is not visible in intellij ( imported from perforce workspace location) . So, I still didnot read the link you've provided ( which I will do once i get sometime) but will that link help me understand how can I achieve what i wanted?

the idea is create files in crx and refresh in intellij so that i can see it there then,  edit & commit in intellij itself , since I integrated perforce in intellij. but i can always go back to crx and run the app.

you need to use vault plugin to achieve the same. Refer [1] to setup AEM project with IntelliJ

Once you have vault plugin, then you can sync from and to AEM instance.
