Trying to build AEM Projects using Apache Maven

[Clive_Stewart]

I am following http://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-0/develop/how-tos/ht-projects-maven.html

But the following step fails 

Create the initial structure from Adobe's multimodule-content-package-archetype

In your shell, go to a directory where your project is supposed to be created.

In the following example, line breaks are only to make reading simpler. Everything goes on one line.

     

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

I thought that the multimodule-content-package-archetype created a pom file.

Please help, I am stuck at this point

Hi Clive,

Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately, the documentation page you referenced needs to be updated. We have an issue open to have this documentation updated as soon as possible. Until then, this link may help you working with Maven: http://experiencedelivers.adobe.com/cemblog/en/experiencedelivers/2014/05/aem6-maven-dependencies.ht.... Please let me know if you need more assistance.

Regards,

Alva

Clive-

This is a very strange error to get when using the archetype:generate goal. Do you see the same error ("The goal you specified requires a project to execute but there is no POM in this directory") if you just run "mvn archetype:generate" ?

If so, you can try running "mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.2:generate" ?

If that works (and by "work" I mean that it prompts you to select an archetype), try using that longer form with the original command arguments.

Regards,

Justin

Unfortunately, for the the rest of this year I am stuck on AEM 5.6

[Clive_Stewart]

If I run "mvn archetype:generate" I do not get the error

I notice that you've retained the backslashes in the command. I think that only works on *nix-style operating systems. Can you try running the command like this:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeRepository=http://repo.adobe.com/nexus/content/groups/public/ -DarchetypeGroupId=com.day.jcr.vault -DarchetypeArtifactId=multimodule-content-package-archetype -DgroupId=my-group-id -DartifactId=OnnetShoporiteAfrica -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -Dpackage=com.onnet.ShopriteAfrica -DappsFolderName=ShopriteAfrica -DartifactName="ShopriteAfrica" -DcqVersion="5.6.1" -DpackageGroup="Shoprite Africa"

all on one line, no back slashes.

[Clive_Stewart]

I have tried it with the non *nix format and it worked.

Thank you :-)
