AEM Maven Repository

This OSGi Bundle turn AEM into a maven repository and provides developers access to all OSGi bundles running in Apache Felix inside the Adobe Experience Manager.

Compatible With

• AEM 6.1

Even when this plugin isn't tested on AEM 6.0 or AEM 5.x, it's quite possible that it works fine with these versions. Please open a ticket on GitHub when you tested it, so I can extend the compatibility list.

HowTo Deploy

• Download the latest aem-maven-repository jar file from https://github.com/sbrinkmann/aem-maven-repository/releases
• Go to the Apache Felix Console http://:<4502|4503>/system/console/bundles
• Select Install or Update
• Select the just downloaded aem-maven-repository jar file with the file picker
• Tick the Start Bundle checkbox
• Hit Install or Update button to finish the deployment
