Maven CRX Plugin
Purpose
This is a plugin designed for Maven 2.x+ based builds to automate CRX compliant packages deployment. It allows to set up upload and install commands as a step in a build process speeding up entire development cycle.
On instances with CRX 2.3 or later, it also simplifies package deployment process by providing a goal (crx:activate) for one-step installation of packages on all publish instances (provided that replication agents are properly configured).
Features
- uploads a selected artifact to a running CRX instance
- installs previously uploaded artifact in a running CRX instance
- activates (replicates and installs) previously uploaded artifact on all publish instances (requires CRX 2.3 or later)
Prerequisites
- CQ/AEM instance with CRX 2.1 or later version
- Maven 2.x, 3.x
Installation
Maven CRX Plugin is available from Maven Central Repo. However if you want to check out the newest development version, do the following:
Checkout the source code:
cd [folder of your choice]
git clone git://github.com/Cognifide/Maven-CRX-Plugin.git
cd Maven-CRX-Plugin
Compile and install:
mvn clean install
Usage
Set up POM file (check documentation for more configuration options):
(...)
<plugin>
<groupId>com.cognifide.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-crx-plugin</artifactId>

<configuration>
<url>${crx.url}</url>
<user>${crx.username}</user>
<password>${crx.password}</password>
</configuration>
</plugin>

-
to upload artifacts to CRX instance use
mvn ... crx:upload -
to upload and install artifacts on CRX instance use
