Looking for a simple way to easily manage your marketing content and assets? Consider Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) for a smooth experience. AEM is a comprehensive content management solution for building websites, mobile apps and forms, and makes it easy to deliver digital experiences.
With AEM your company can:

As you think about building an AEM project, consider the options for an open-source software tool. Apache Maven is an open-source solution that automates builds and provides quality project information, and it’s the recommended build management tool for AEM projects. So how do you set up an AEM project using Maven? Let’s walk through the steps of creating an AEM project and how to run a successful build.
Before you get started, make sure you have Eclipse, Maven (apache-maven-3.3.9) or JDK (jdk1.8). Also be sure to install and configure Vault. In your pom.xml, you may have to change or add some dependencies based on your project needs. Once these are in place you can take the following seven steps:
Phase One: Configure Vault
From your C:\{CRX Installation}\opt\filevault\filevault.zip extract the folder to C:\ vault-cli-3.1.6
Go to your system variable and edit Path Variable.
Type in C:\vault-cli-3.1.6\bin at the end of the value.
Phase Two: Create project
Download and install Eclipse and extract the .zip to C:\eclipse.
From the command prompt, go to your eclipse workspace. If you have Maven installed, type this command on one line: mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=com.day.jcr.vault -DarchetypeArtifactId=multimodule-content-package-archetype -DarchetypeVersion=1.0.2 -DarchetypeRepository=http://repo.adobe.com/nexus/content/groups/public/
Provide all the important information. (Note: The values below should not be used to create projects for production. They are provided for demonstration purposes only.)
Then confirm the properties configuration by typing in Y and then hitting enter. After a successful build, open up your eclipse and ‘import’ the newly created project.
