About AEM Tools
Speed up Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) development with powerful IntelliJ IDEA integration.
AEM Tools adds IDE support for the parts of AEM projects that are usually hard to work with as plain text: HTL, Expression Language, OSGi configurations, ClientLib declarations, and Jackrabbit FileVault XML. It brings completion, navigation, validation, quick documentation, and refactoring support closer to the files AEM developers edit every day.
Key Features
HTL and Expression Language
• Syntax highlighting, parsing, completion, and navigation for HTL and EL. • Refactoring and quick documentation support for common HTL workflows. • Sling Models and Java Use class resolution. • HTL version awareness for HTL 1.3 and 1.4 features. • Paired editing support inside EL expressions.
OSGi Configurations
• Resolution between OSGi configuration files and Felix or OSGi R6-R7 components. • Navigation from configuration properties to Java declarations. • Metadata validation for supported OSGi component annotations.
Jackrabbit FileVault XML
• Syntax highlighting and validation for AEM XML content files. • Classic UI dialog.xml completion based on xtype documentation. • Completion and highlighting for cq:Component, cq:editConfig, and related AEM content structures.
Client Libraries
• Completion for ClientLib category names in HTL and ClientLib declarations. • Completion and reference resolution for js.txt and css.txt entries. • Inline documentation for categories and client library templates.
Installation
AEM Tools is available from the JetBrains Marketplace.
