Creating an AEM project using Eclipse IDE

You can create an AEM application by using the Java Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE). By building an AEM application using Eclipse, you can access features within the IDE such as code completion and the ability to remote debug the application. That is, you can set a breakpoint on a line of Java code used for an OSGi bundle and you can walk through the code to troubleshoot issues.

You can synchronize code (both Java code and JSP code) in Eclipse with the code in the AEM JCR. For example, assume that you have application logic in Eclipse that represents a JSP component. You can synchronize the code in Eclipse with code in the AEM JCR using the vault tool. That is, you can check in code you write in Eclipse into the AEM JCR. Likewise, if you make a change in AEM using CRXDE lite, you can checkout the code that results in the code in Eclipse being updated. To synchronize code, you configure the vault tool (this is shown later in this development article).

The following illustration shows application logic for an AEM application within Eclipse.

Creating Custom Data Importer Services for Adobe Experience Manager

You can develop a custom data importer service for Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) that lets you import data. To address some business requirments, importing external data into your AEM site is an important use case. For example, you can import data from an external social media site. In this development article, a cus­tom node type, cq:PollConfig, is used to import data at a specific inter­val.
To create a custom data importer service, use the com.day.cq.polling.importer.Importer API and ceate an OSGi bundle, as shown in the following illustration.

Upcoming Sessions of Ask the AEM Community Experts

The Ask the AEM community experts sessions for January and February 2015 are as follows:

Deep dive with AEM and Sightly

 Join Scott Macdonald and Feike Visser for a deep dive into using Sightly and Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). By attending this session, you will gain a deeper understanding on how to use this new technology to build AEM components. In addition, you will have the chance to ask Sightly questions to the Adobe Experts. This session will be held on Tues Jan 27 at 11 AM EST.


Here is a playback of AEM Ask the Experts on Sightly.

Building login-based sites in AEM

 Join Scott Macdonald and Justin Edelson to learn how to develop secure AEM web sites that require user authentication. By attending this session, you will gain a deeper understanding of how to build AEM secure web sites by using Sling technology. In addition, you will have the chance to ask Sling security  questions to the Adobe Experts. This session will be held on Tues Fe b17 at 11 AM EST.

Creating an AEM project using the Java IntelliJ IDE

You can create an AEM application by using the Java IntelliJ Integrated Development Environment (IDE). By building an AEM application using IntelliJ IDE, you have access to features within the IDE such as code completion and the ability to remote debug the application. That is, you can set a break point on a line of Java code used for an OSGi bundle and you can walk through the code in the IntelliJ environment to troubleshoot issues.

You can synchronize code (both Java code and JSP code) in the IntelliJ environment with the code in the AEM JCR. For example, assume that you have code in IntelliJ that represents a JSP component. You can synchronize the code in the IntelliJ IDE with code in the AEM JCR using Vault. That is, you can check in code you write in IntelliJ into the AEM JCR. Likewise, if you make a change in AEM using CRXDE lite, you can checkout the code that results in the code in IntelliJ being updated. To synchronize code, you configure the vault tool (this is shown later in this development article).

The following illustration shows an AEM application within the IntelliJ IDE.


This article walks you through how to build an AEM application using IntelliJ and synchronize the code with the code in the AEM JCR. In addition, it discusses how to setup AEM for remote debugging.
