how to use ACS commons classes in my maven project?

[jayv25585659]

TLDR: My problem is that when I'm inside my IDE (in this case it's IntelliJ), the IDE cannot find "com.adobe.acs"

Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks

---------------------------

1. So I already have these 2 entries in my pom file

<embedded>
   <artifactId>acs-aem-commons-all</artifactId>
   <target>/apps/my-app-vendor-packages/container/install</target>
   <filter>true</filter>
   <isAllVersionsFilter>true</isAllVersionsFilter>
</embedded>

<dependency>
   <groupId>com.adobe.acs</groupId>
   <artifactId>acs-aem-commons-all</artifactId>
   <classifier>cloud</classifier>
   <version>6.14.0</version>
   <type>zip</type>
</dependency>
<dependency>
   <groupId>com.adobe.acs</groupId>
   <artifactId>acs-aem-commons-bundle</artifactId>
   <version>6.14.0</version>
   <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

It auto-installed the ACS commons package in my package manager.

2. I can also see this JAR file in my home directory.

/home/myuser/.m2/repository/com/adobe/acs/acs-aem-commons-bundle-cloud/6.14.0/acs-aem-commons-bundle-cloud-6.14.0.jar

3. I have sync and reloaded maven in my IDE.

Hi @jayv25585659 ,

IntelliJ cannot find com.adobe.acs because the wrong artifact is used in your pom.xml. The acs-aem-commons-all is only a content package (ZIP) and acs-aem-commons-bundle doesn’t exist for Cloud. You need to use the correct artifact acs-aem-commons-bundle-cloud. Update your dependency as below:

<dependency>
<groupId>com.adobe.acs</groupId>
<artifactId>acs-aem-commons-bundle-cloud</artifactId>
<version>6.14.0</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Then run mvn clean install -U and reimport Maven in IntelliJ. If issues remain, clear IntelliJ caches. This will resolve the com.adobe.acs imports.

Thanks & Regards,

Vishal

according to this page (https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/pages/maven.html), there are no artifact called "-cloud" (like what you wrote) for maven.

this is the suggestion given (which is exactly/very similar to mine)

<plugins>
  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.jackrabbit</groupId>
    <artifactId>filevault-package-maven-plugin</artifactId>
      ...
      <configuration>
        <embeddeds>
          <embedded>
            <!-- the artifact with the given id from the project dependencies is embedded -->
            <artifactId>acs-aem-commons-all</artifactId>
            <target>/apps/my-app-vendor-packages/container/install</target>
            <filter>true</filter>
            <isAllVersionsFilter>true</isAllVersionsFilter>
          </embedded>
        ...
        </embeddeds>
      ...
      </configuration>
    ...
  </plugin>
</plugins>
...
<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.adobe.acs</groupId>
    <artifactId>acs-aem-commons-all</artifactId>
    <classifier>cloud</classifier>
    <version>6.14.0</version>
    <type>zip</type>
  </dependency>
  ...
</dependencies>

Hi @jayv25585659 ,

Its working for me  in core/pom.xml file

       <dependency>
            <groupId>com.adobe.acs</groupId>
            <artifactId>acs-aem-commons-bundle</artifactId>
            <version>6.14.0</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>

right click on project(intellij ide) -> maven -> sync project
works for me. 

Thanks
