  • Java SE Development Kit 8 or Java SE Development Kit 11
  • Apache Maven 3.3.1 or newer

For ease of build and installation the following profiles are provided:

  • installdeploymentpackage - installs the deploy package/bundle to an existing AEM author instance

You can use helper script for ease of local deployment

  • deploy-local - deploy aemdesign-aem-core-deploy package to your local AEM instance running on port 4502
  • deploy-local-publish - deploy aemdesign-aem-core-deploy package to your local AEM instance running on port 4503

UberJar

This project relies on the AEM 6.4 cq-quickstart. This is publicly available on https://repo.adobe.com

For more details about the UberJar please head over to the How to Build AEM Projects using Apache Maven documentation page.

Include core components into your own project maven build

To add core components to your project, you will need to add it to your maven build. The released version of the framework are available on the public maven repository at https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/design/aem/aemdesign-aem-core-deploy/

To include the deploy package into your own project's maven build using maven you can add the dependency to your pom.xml like this

<dependency>
    <groupId>design.aem</groupId>
    <artifactId>aemdesign-aem-core-deploy</artifactId>
    <type>zip</type>
    <version>2.0.100</version>
</dependency>

and then add this subpackage to your sub package section

 <subPackage>
     <groupId>design.aem</groupId>
     <artifactId>aemdesign-aem-core-deploy</artifactId>
     <filter>true</filter>
 </subPackage>

inside the configuration of the content-package-maven-plugin.

Development Notes

Following section describes some of the development topics

Version Convention

Version numbers for Git Tags should follow semver format:

  • MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,
  • MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and
  • PATCH version when you make small incremental changes

Minimal core artifacts required for providing overridable AEM components.

aemdesign-aem-core-deploy module creates an aem package for deployment which contains:

  • aemdesign-aem-author
  • amedesign-aem-common

aemdesign-aem-common module embeds bundles:

  • aemdesign-aem-services

To build

To ensure the project builds correctly locally run:

mvn -Dvault.useProxy=false -DskipTests -e -U clean package

To deploy

To build and deploy the project to your local aem instance (default localhost:4502), in the project root run:

./deploy-local

To create a release

Releases are managed via the maven plugins versions-maven-plugin and maven-scm-plugin

Version numbers should follow the SemVer convention.

Release Versions

Release versions are automated and based on Tags in format MAJOR.MINOR and Commit count from Tag using the git describe command.

To test git versioning run

git describe

this will show you generated version message with latest tag and how many commits since tag.

If you get an error:

fatal: No annotated tags can describe

create a new tag for your current version MAJOR.MINOR, the rest will be automated:

git tag 2.1 -f -m "2.1"

To create a release all you need to do is create a tag MAJOR.MINOR on master branch and push it.

Version Convention

Version numbers for Git Tags should follow semver format:

  • MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,
  • MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and
  • PATCH version is automatically generated based on git commit count from last Tag

Please use MAJOR and MINOR version in Tags, PATCH version will be automatically added as a commit count since the last tag using the git describe.

Release history

Please review the change log for all version history.

Commit Signatures

Please ensure you have GPG setup and you sign all of your commits.
