So I noticed my AEM project wasn't picking up changes I made to the Java code. I realized any time I ran mvn clean install -PautoInstallPackage, my bundle jar file was not getting reinstalled or updated. I had to manually reinstall the .jar file from /bundle/target/. I'm using IntelliJ Ultimate fwiw.
I assume the bundles would get installed from the package if they are located in this directory /apps/packageNameHere/install/. I just unzipped the package that gets compiled from my project and my .jar file is indeed there. Any ideas?
