I need a better understanding of deploying to AEM with MAVEN

[Clive_Stewart]

I have been using Maven to build my OSGI bundles.

Then I started using the AEM plugin for Eclipse and using that to import and export component code (JSP, CSS, JS and so on) between my project in Eclipse and my AEM server.

For OSGI bundles I would deploy them using AEM Web Console Bundles - <server><port>/system/console/bundles

Is it not possible to use a plugin inside maven to deploy code and bundles to an AEM server?

Is there a development tutorial that explains how to use and configure AEM and Sling plugins to deploy components and OSGI bundles using Maven?

Yes you can deploy bundles directly to an AEM using Maven plugins. 

Check these links-

While we show in the AEM community articles how to install manually using Apache Felx console (so AEM developers know how to do this manually and its not a blackbox) - you are correct - you can install automatically via Maven. Use this command:

mvn -PautoInstallPackage install

For more information - see this AEM Doc topic:

Hi Scott,

Thank you for the link and explaining that I need to use -PautoInstallPackage when I run mvn install
