Sightly-based multi-module Maven archetype available?
Hi All I'm currently going through a process of defining a ramp-up traning program for some junior developers/interns on Sling. (Later in the program they will shift over to AEM, but I really want them to get a proper understanding on vanilla Sling first) The available Maven archetypes seem to be very limited through and I'm spending a ton of time saying things like "...but you won't really be doing it like this..." I'm thinking there will be a lot of value in creating a simple multi-module archetype for vanilla Sling that is pre-setup to run with a vault filter and Sightly templates. Has anyone else done this, that I'm just missing? If not, would anyone else find it valuable if I work on something like that? Note: I'm not a Java master, but can stumble around an IDE without too many injuries. Cheers Greg
Different ways to define initial content :: Content.xml vs Json equivalent
Hi All I see that there is some difference between how content projects are handled between the Sling IDE tools and the Maven archetypes. 1. The "Sling Content Project" wizard creates a project with a jcr_root folder which then contains folders and content.xml files. This is very similar to what I'm used to with AEM Archetype 10. 2. The sling-initial-content-archetype, on the other hand, generates a SLING-INF folder with an XML node descriptor file (as explained at http://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/content-loading-jcr-contentloader.html ) 3. The Slingbucks example uses JSON descriptor files. Obviously all these methods work, but I'm interested to get an idea of what the recommended method is. Perhaps based on specific criteria of my project?

Re: Best Sling samples for a beginner to look at?
Tx Chris, Bertrand, Andreas I think that gives me a good starting point. I'll keep a mini-journal of my experiences which might give some insights into where the learning curve gets a bit steep. Perhaps it even turns into a tutorial of sorts.

Best Sling samples for a beginner to look at?
Hi All An earlier mail Andy Schaefer actually highlighted something that I've been struggling with over the last week or so. I'm very green with Sling (Playing with it during my limited spare time for the last 2-3 months) and have struggled to find a lot of useful getting-started material online. The tutorials on the Sling website feels quite outdated (mostly esp and jps examples) and besides the Sling page I've really only found a handful of blogs and youtube videos. I had a look at the samples folder, but most of those samples seem super-old. The only ones that have been touched in the last year are: - Slingshot - Slingbucks - Fling (the one Andy mentioned) So my question is: - Will any of those samples really provide a useful learning experience for a Sling noob? - Or should I rather work through something like Chris Millar's Slick-2 framework (Seems like quite a beast though) If you feel the learning experience from the samples will be worthwhile, I'm quite willing to help get some of them updated with Sightly etc. Appreciate the help Greg Fullard -- GREG FULLARD ARCHITECT ON CALL /// [image: 8 Bit Platoon Logo] CELL +27 82 783 3204 EMAIL gr...@8bitplatoon.com WEB 8bitplatoon.com This email is protected by our email disclaimer <http://8bitplatoon.com/disclaimer.html>.
