Can we exclude core components when we use the Maven archetype to create a new repo?

[ramaem12]

We have AEM env in 6.4.2, and we want to include new repo(adding new website in multi-tenancy env). For this, I am using maven archetype 20 to create a new repo. We already have core components(2.5.0) are available in AEM instance, so I would like to exclude dependency from the newly created repo.

Hi,

Yes you can do that -

Please remove core component dependency from your pom.xml

@ramaem12,

Sure, its very simple, in the ui.apps maven module, remove the <groupId>com.adobe.cq</groupId> subpackages.
AEM Archetype 20 ui.apps - https://github.com/adobe/aem-project-archetype/blob/aem-project-archetype-20/src/main/archetype/ui.a...

When core.wcm.components is no longer needed, be sure to also remove this from your parent pom.xml
