Intellij Plugins connecting with AEM Local

[Elbie47]

Our team has recently being tasked to move over from Eclipse to Intellij utilising Bitbucket for Repo.

Intellij and Bitbucket is working well, but the Intellij and AEM local does not seem to work yet. 

Any suggestions on Plugins, most of the plugins in the tutorials we found seems to not be available anymore on the marketplace and have been depreciated.

did you try  AEM IDE from jetbrains. this is having all the required functionality like suppport for HTL and filevlaut as well. 

only demerit is you need to pay for it 🙂

Hope this will help.

Hi Umesh, 

I saw that you, 🙂. Does the enterprise versions of the plug in cover all the basic AEM requirements, dont mind arranging payment, but do want to make sure it will work!

Hi @Elbie47 

You can use "IntelliVault" to sync local AEM with IntelliJIDEA. But make sure you are using the IntelliJ IDEA version lesser than 2020. Currently I am using IntelliJ IDEA 2019.2.4 (Ultimate Edition) and it works perfectly fine!

We use aemsync. It's not a plugin, but you can just start it in Intellij terminal.

Works like a charm.
