How can I fix this compile error on class com.adobe.cq.wcm.core.components.models.Text ?

[jkpanera]

I'm getting a compile error trying to reference the class com.adobe.cq.wcm.core.components.models.Text:

package com.adobe.cq.wcm.core.components.models does not exist

I have this dependency in my pom.xml:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.adobe.cq</groupId>
  <artifactId>core.wcm.components.all</artifactId>
  <type>zip</type>
  <version>2.2.0</version>
  <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

But I don't see it on my maven compile classpath:

Is this because it's a bundle dependency not a jar dependency? If so, where do I find the jar dependency?

[vaibhavs7024655]

jkpanera  In addition to the dependency you have added[1] to your pom, you will also need to add the sub package to your sub package section[2] inside the configuration of content-package-maven-plugin.

Refer GitHub - adobe/aem-core-wcm-components: Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Sites Core Components - flexi...  for more details.

[1]

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.adobe.cq</groupId>
  <artifactId>core.wcm.components.all</artifactId>
  <type>zip</type>
  <version>2.5.0</version>
</dependency>

[2]

<subPackage>
  <groupId>com.adobe.cq</groupId>
  <artifactId>core.wcm.components.all</artifactId>
  <filter>true</filter>
</subPackage>

[jkpanera]

Hi thanks for your answer.

I added this to my pom.xml:

<plugins>
  <plugin>
  <groupId>com.day.jcr.vault</groupId>
  <artifactId>content-package-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
  <subPackages>
  <subPackage>
  <groupId>com.adobe.cq</groupId>
  <artifactId>core.wcm.components.all</artifactId>
  <filter>true</filter>
  </subPackage>
  </subPackages>
  </configuration>
  </plugin>

But I'm still getting the same error.

can you try forcing your maven to fetch again from the the maven/adobe repo. You can use mvn -F clean install

Else, try create a blank project using latest maven archetype which should download all the dependencies for you.

[Jörg_Hoh · Accepted solution]

You are referencing the zip package of the Core Components. This is the complete package containing both code and the repository structures. If you want to reference parts of the bundle, you need to reference the JAR file.

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.adobe.cq</groupId>
  <artifactId>core.wcm.components.core</artifactId>
  <type>jar</type>
  <version>2.2.0</version>
  <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Thank you. This is the answer I was looking for. This could be explained better in the documentation. Perhaps there should be a page explaining the various dependencies?

Hi 

can you please tell me how the issue is resolved I am facing an issue with the core component while setting up a new project.

[Jörg_Hoh]

You can open an issue at the github project and ask if this case could be documented.
