Repository Modernizer repo-modernizer
Repository Modernizer is a utility developed to restructure existing project packages by separating content and code into discrete packages to be compatible with the project structure defined for Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service.
Introduction introduction
Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service brings many new features and possibilities into your AEM Projects. However, there are some changes required to Adobe Experience Manager Maven projects to be compatible with AEM Cloud Service. At a high-level, AEM requires a separation of content and code into discrete subpackages to respect the split between mutable and immutable content. See AEM Project Structure for more details about the new AEM project structure for Cloud Service.
The Repository Modernizer creates a compatible AEM Cloud Service project structure by creating the following deployment structure:
-
ui.appspackage deploys to/appsand contains all the code -
ui.contentpackage deploys to runtime-writable areas (for example,/content,/conf,/home, or anything not/apps) and contains all the content and configuration. -
allpackage is a container package that contains the subpackagesui.appsandui.content.
pom.xml/filter.xml files. See Archetype 24 for more details.Using the Repository Modernizer using-repo-modernizer
