Problem with Maven Dependency tags with SlingModels

[Bayani_Portier]

I'm having a slight problem with incorporating the appropriate maven dependencies into my project for sling models.

When I deploy my bundle, I get the following import that can't be resolved:

org.apache.sling.models.annotations,version=[1.1,2) -- Cannot be resolved

I believe I have included this with the following dependencies:

<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.sling</groupId> <artifactId>org.apache.sling.models.api</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.sling</groupId> <artifactId>org.apache.sling.models.impl</artifactId> </dependency>

I tried using:

<Embed-Transitive>true</Embed-Transitive> <Import-Package>*</Import-Package>

in my bundle compile instructions, but this has just resulted in a ton of other dependencies not being resolved.

Surely I've gone down the garden path here somewhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

It appears that your code is dependening upon a newer version of the Sling Models API than is available in your AEM instance. Your two options are to depend upon an older version of the API or to deploy a newer version of Sling Models into your instance.

Two additional comments:

• You should not embed the Sling Models dependencies (actually, you try to avoid any embedding, but for now, let's just talk about Sling Models ).
• There's no need for you to include the Impl bundle as a dependency.

Regards,

Justin

Hi Justin,

Thanks, that's correct. I'll figure out an appropriate way to get the jar into the instance.

You might want to use the convienence content packages we have on GitHub. I typically keep these at most a day or two behind the actual Sling releases. Here's the latest one: https://github.com/Adobe-Consulting-Services/com.adobe.acs.bundles.sling-models/releases/tag/com.ado...
