Create AEM Project using Maven Archetype 11

Let's start with our journey of Adobe Experience Manager project development.

I am using AEM 6.3, Java 1.8 and Maven 3.2.

Follow below steps and try to replicate the same at your end. Let know of any issues if you face in the comment section.


  1. Go to your project path and validate the commands mvn -v and java -version are pointing to the accurate installation of Maven and JDK.
  2. Type below command to start: "mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.4:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=com.adobe.granite.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=aem-project-archetype -DarchetypeVersion=11 -DarchetypeCatalog=https://repo.adobe.com/nexus/content/groups/public/"
  3. Once this is done downloading the dependency and starts creating folder structure, it will ask you for the required information. You can refer below information that I have given, you need to use yours based on your requirement or client need. 
Define value for property 'groupId': : first-project-aem
Define value for property 'artifactId': : first-project-aem
Define value for property 'version':  1.0-SNAPSHOT: :
Define value for property 'package':  first-project-aem: : com.blogspot.curiousjava
Define value for property 'appsFolderName':  first-project-aem: :
Define value for property 'artifactName':  first-project-aem: :
Define value for property 'componentGroupName':  first-project-aem: : Set 1
Define value for property 'contentFolderName':  first-project-aem: : first-project
Define value for property 'cssId':  first-project-aem: : first-project
Define value for property 'packageGroup':  first-project-aem: : first-project
Define value for property 'siteName':  first-project-aem: : curious-java-aem
Once you are done with above, it will ask you for confirmation. Press "Y" and you are ready to start your journey to AEM-6.3. You can import the project in your IDE and start working towards your project.

Best of luck with your start to AEM learning, hope this helps.

Design Patterns (TID)

The pattern is an organised way of solving some specific class of problems. These patterns come in to the picture at analysis and high-level-design phase. The first step of applying one pattern to the code base is first to understand the find the vector of change in the code base. Next step is to isolate the things that are subject to change form the things that are not. That is adding a layer of abstraction to the code. The goal of design patterns is isolating the changes in your code. Understand Inheritance and Composition as a solution to a specific class of problems. Inheritance : - It allows you to express differences in behavior (that's the thing that changes) in objects that all have the same interface (that's what stays the same). Composition : - Composition can also be considered a pattern, since it allows you to change—dynamically or statically—the objects that implement your class, and thus the way that class works. Some principles of designing the c...

Primitive Obsession with Example

Primitive Obsession is the name of a code smell that occurs when we use primitive data types to represent domain ideas. For example, we use a string to represent a message or an integer to represent an amount of money. For Example: Code with Primitive Obsession // primitiveObsession.java public class primitiveObsession { public static void main ( String args []) { Integer [] cityPopulations = { 13000000 , // London 21903623 , // New York 12570000 , // Tokyo 1932763 , // Stockholm 1605602 , // Barcelona 4119190 // Sydney }; for ( Integer cityPopulation : cityPopulations ) { System . out . println ( cityPopulation ); } } } public class City { private final String name ; private final int population ; private final Continent continent ; public String getName () { return name ; } public int getPopulation () { return population ; } public Continent ge...
