How to Include 3rd party aem package for AEM cloud

I have an installable AEM package(external-app-1.0.7.zip) and I am able to  install this in my local AEM by uploading it in the package manager. In cloud I can not install as it contains /app/mypackage since it is an un-mutable AEM cloud instance and could not install the package through package manager. Hence I am planning to keep the external-app-1.0.7.zip in the resource folder like ...all/src/main/resources/external-app-1.0.7.zip as part of the codebase itself. I am planning to use the <embedded> feature to embed this package. 

 

<embedded>
<groupId>com.adobe.cq</groupId>
<artifactId>lorum</artifactId>
<type>zip</type>
<target>/apps/mypro/application/install</target>
</embedded>
 
But I don't have artifact and groupid for this package. Is there any way I can install external-app-1.0.7.zip as part of maven deployment

Hello @mario248 

 

Glad that it had helped you a bit.

 

Have you tried local repo as well?

 

Once you have the details, please refer to https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/including-3rd-party-aem-pa...

Hello @mario248 

 

We can get the artifactID and groupID by unzipping the package.

  • Unzip the package
  • Go to \META-INF\maven folder
    • Follow the folder structure underneath it until you reach pom.xml
      • First folder is groupID
      • Second is artifactID
    • Or just reach pom.xml and all information is in there

 

Example: acs-aem-commons-all-6.0.14\META-INF\maven\com.adobe.acs\acs-aem-commons-all

 

 

 

You should be able to use the recommended <embedded> way

    Thank you for your input. I got the artifactID and groupID by using your steps. I have prepared below embed and deployed the code into my local, the build is success but I dont see package in /apps/myproject/application/install in crxde.

     

     

     

     

     

    <embedded> <groupId>com.green.grass</groupId> <artifactId>com.green.grass.digital</artifactId> <type>zip</type> <target>/apps/myproject/application/install</target> </embedded>

     

     

     

     
    I have kept the zip in resource folder( ...all/src/main/resources/external-app-1.0.7.zip ). Can you tell me where do I specify location of the zip file ?

          Please take a look at this article: https://www.albinsblog.com/2015/06/deploying-bundlespackages-to-different-env-maven-adobecq5-adobeaem.html where It shows how to use the "content-package-maven-plugin" plugin. By specifying the packageFile property I think you should be able to achieve what you need.

            Hi @mario248 ,

            Please follow below steps

            steps to include a third-party package in AEM as a Cloud Service:

            1. Check the Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service - Supported Integrations documentation to ensure that the third-party package you want to include is supported in the cloud environment. Adobe maintains a list of supported integrations and packages that are tested and verified to work with AEM as a Cloud Service.

            2. Create a Maven project for your custom code and dependencies. Use Maven as the build tool to manage your project's dependencies and package them into an AEM package.

            3. Add the third-party package as a dependency in your Maven project's pom.xml file. Specify the appropriate version of the package that is compatible with AEM as a Cloud Service.

            4. Build your Maven project to generate an AEM package that includes your custom code and the third-party package as dependencies.

            5. Deploy the AEM package to your AEM as a Cloud Service instance using the Cloud Manager or the Package Manager in AEM. Follow the recommended deployment practices provided by Adobe for AEM as a Cloud Service.

            6. Test your custom code and the integration with the third-party package in the AEM as a Cloud Service environment.

              Sharing a blog which explains how to use Third-party bundles when:

              • Hosted in restricted Maven repo 
              • Local repo (i.e. when maven repositories cannot be used)

              It also explains the configurations needed to deploy via cloud manager
