Setting up an AEM 6.2 project with Archetype 10

Adobe hasn't released a new Archetype for Adobe Experience Manager 6.1 and 6.2, so the AEM dependancies have not been updated to use the aem-uber.jar. I noticed this when I extended WCMUse in 6.2 and it was not deprecated. This has been replaced by WCMUsePojo in 6.2. Here's what you need to do to get your AEM project working with aem-uber.jar.

Update the AEM dependency in the project root pom.xml file:

	<!-- remove these dependencies -->
	<dependency>
	<groupId>com.adobe.aem</groupId>
	<artifactId>aem-api</artifactId>
	<version>6.0.0.1</version>
	<scope>provided</scope>
	</dependency>
	<dependency>
	<groupId>com.day.cq.wcm</groupId>
	<artifactId>cq-wcm-taglib</artifactId>
	<version>5.7.4</version>
	<scope>provided</scope>
	</dependency>
	<!-- add this dependancy to replace the two above -->
	<dependency>
	<groupId>com.adobe.aem</groupId>
	<artifactId>uber-jar</artifactId>
	<version>6.2.0</version>
	<classifier>obfuscated-apis</classifier>
	<scope>provided</scope>
	</dependency>

Update the referenced dependencies in the core, it.tests, ui.apps and ui.content module pom.xml files:

	<!-- add the import-package tag to the mvn-bundle-plugin to fix the AEM 6.2 error -->
	<plugin>
	<groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
	<artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
	<extensions>true</extensions>
	<configuration>
	<instructions>
	<!-- Import any version of javax.inject, to allow running on multiple versions of AEM -->
	<Import-Package>javax.inject;version=0.0.0,*</Import-Package>
	<!-- ... removed to shorten the example ... -->
	</instructions>
	</configuration>
	</plugin>
	<!-- remove this referenced dependency from ui.apps module -->
	<dependency>
	<groupId>com.day.cq.wcm</groupId>
	<artifactId>cq-wcm-taglib</artifactId>
	</dependency>
	<!-- remove this referenced dependency... -->
	<dependency>
	<groupId>com.adobe.aem</groupId>
	<artifactId>aem-api</artifactId>
	</dependency>
	<!-- and replace with this referenced dependency -->
	<dependency>
	<groupId>com.adobe.aem</groupId>
	<artifactId>uber-jar</artifactId>
	<classifier>obfuscated-apis</classifier>
	</dependency>

That should do it, now WCMUse is deprecated!
