Deploying AEM with maven (Error)

I am trying to deploy AEM with maven, so I follow this tutorial. When I run the command mvn clear package, I get the following error:

Any idea how to get the deployment with maven works?

Answer 1

It looks maven does not know where to find the maven-vault-plugin. You will need to add the Adobe repository to your maven POM, see http://repo.adobe.com/.

That will cause the Unresolveable build extension: Plugin com.day.jcr.vault:maven-vault- plugin:0.0.10 error and the Unknown packaging: content-package @ line 12, column 16 errors.

Also, you still have some variable placeholders (<groupId><!-- {groupId} --></groupId>) from the tutorial left in your code that will need replacing. See the error:

[ERROR]     'dependencies.dependency.groupId' for :core:jar is missing. @ line 18, column 22

In the <embeddeds> section of the vault plugin configuration, you can specify maven dependencies that you wish to include. An example of this can be seen in this Managing packages with Maven page.

If you don't want to include any external dependencies in your package right now, you could probably remove the<embeddeds> section altogether.
