CHICAGO, 2013-08-27 19:03 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
CITYTECH, featured Adobe partner and leader in Adobe AEM (CQ) enterprise
application implementation, recently made another contribution to the open
source community. In addition to the already popular open source contributions
of the Adobe AEM (CQ) Groovy Console, OSGi Bundle Status Maven Plugin and the
OSGI Service Monitor, today, CITYTECH is contributing the CQ Component Maven
Plugin that automates the generation of CQ component dialogs.
The CQ Component Maven Plugin removes the need for developers to have to
manually code complex XML configuration files that define the component
metadata. This configuration process is very error prone, which often results
in inconsistencies and bugs that slow the delivery of Adobe AEM (CQ)-based
solutions. The CITYTECH-developed CQ Component Maven Plugin dynamically
generates these XML files based on Java Annotations- which is much simpler and
abstracts away the developer's need to understand the syntax of the XML-based
configuration files. Creator and Sr. Developer Paul Michelotti explains, 'As I
would copy the XML files from one component to another, the fact that most of
the information contained in the files already existed in the component's
backing Java Class would pester me. We found this to be common among CQ
developers and we wanted to solve it. Furthermore, we want the development
community to be spending time solving interesting problems, not tweaking XML
configuration files.'
This is a sentiment we, as a company, wholeheartedly agree with, as do our
clients. 'In our experience, the assets CITYTECH releases to the Open Source
community provide substantive ROI and every developer should consider adding
them to the tool belt,' says Bill Engels, Graco, Inc. CITYTECH's goal for the
CQ Component Maven Plugin and all of our past and future contributions to open
source development is to free ourselves to work on making other processes just
as efficient.
'In more than eight years of working with the Adobe CQ platform, we have
learned the ins and outs of the required development patterns, frameworks, and
platform. Our goal is to spend our time on high-value features for our
clients, and our team has evolved several frameworks and utilities that allow
us to be the utmost efficient with our development process,' says Matt Van
Bergen, CITYTECH CTO. 'The CQ Component Maven Plugin allows the CQ component
metadata to be described in code and generated on the fly during the build
process. We hope that the Adobe CQ development community leverages our
innovations and helps mature them so we all can focus on the high-value
development efforts, like shortening the time to market and allowing the Adobe
CQ platform to continue to evolve as a cornerstone of an enterprise's
technology stack.'
When discussing why releases like these are so important, Technical Architect
Mark Daugherty explains, 'The open source model allows CITYTECH to offer tools
and methodologies that have proven successful for us while also encouraging
feedback and contributions from the CQ5 community.' CITYECH is looking to
spark conversation and evolution around the work we do and platforms we use.
