Using with Maven

If you’re using the Content Package Maven plugin, take these two easy steps:

Step 1: Add ACS AEM Commons as a Dependency

In the <dependencies> section of your content project’s pom.xml file, add this:

For 6.2 and 6.3

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.adobe.acs</groupId>
    <artifactId>acs-aem-commons-content</artifactId>
    <version>3.11.0</version>
    <type>content-package</type>
</dependency>

For 6.0 and 6.1

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.adobe.acs</groupId>
    <artifactId>acs-aem-commons-content</artifactId>
    <version>2.13.0</version>
    <type>content-package</type>
</dependency>

Minimal Package

ACS AEM Commons has two distributions:

• The ‘‘full’’ package which includes all functionality.
• The ‘‘min’’ package which excludes functionality requiring 3rd party dependencies.

Currently, the only feature excluded from the ‘‘min’’ package is the Twitter integration.

To include the ‘‘min’’ package, add

<classifier>min</classifier>

inside the <dependency> element.

Step 2: Add ACS AEM Commons as a Sub Package

Then, (while still in the content project’s pom.xml) within the configuration of the content-package-maven-plugin, add a subPackage:

<plugin>
    <groupId>com.day.jcr.vault</groupId>
    <artifactId>content-package-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <extensions>true</extensions>
    <configuration>
        ...
        <subPackages>
            <subPackage>
                <groupId>com.adobe.acs</groupId>
                <artifactId>acs-aem-commons-content</artifactId>
                <filter>true</filter>
            </subPackage>
        </subPackages>
        ...
    </configuration>
</plugin>    

Step 3: Add ACS AEM Commons Bundle as a Dependency (Optional)

In the <dependencies> section of the pom.xml any maven projects that use ACS AEM Commons APIs (Java utils, TagLibs, etc.), add the dependency for the acs-aem-commons-bundle project. The acs-aem-commons-bundle will deployed as part of the acs-aem-commons-content package (above), however the dependency is required to compile your project when it uses ACS AEM Commons Java APIs.

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.adobe.acs</groupId>
    <artifactId>acs-aem-commons-bundle</artifactId>
    <version>3.11.0</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
