A plugin for IntelliJ IDEA to interact with JCR repositories via the FileVault tool which is packaged with Adobe Experience Manager.
This plugin is largely based upon, and liberally borrows from, VaultClipse which is a plugin for the Eclipse IDE for interacting with FileVault.
The plugin can be found in the JetBrains IDEA Plugin Repository
The IntelliVault plugin is currently supported on the following Intellij products:
- Intellij IDEA 2016.1 Community/Ultimate
To install the plugin using the Intellij built-in plugin management dialog, go to Preferences > Plugins > Browse Repositories, type Intellivault and click the Install button.
NOTE: If after installing the plugin and restarting the IDE you don't see the IntelliVault option under Tools then your version is most likely not supported.
IntelliVault uses the Filevault tool under the covers to transfer content between IDEA and your AEM repository. This is a hard dependency, and requires unpacking Filevault before you can configure the plugin.
Locate filevault.zip or filevault.tgz inside of your AEM directory at crx-quickstart/opt/filevault and unpack that to any directory.
Once you have unpacked Filevault, open the plugin configuration dialog accessible via Preferences > Tools > IntelliVault and set the following properties.
- Vault Directory: Set this to the directory where you unpacked Filevault, ie.
/Users/myuser/dev/tools/vault/vault-cli-3.1.38/bin - Repository: See
Multi-Repository Configurationbelow - Show Operation Confirmation Dialogs: If checked, IntelliVault will prompt you to comfirm each operation. Uncheck this to remove those confirmations
- Other properties are optional and shouldn't require changes, but should be self-explanatory if/when changes are required
IntelliVault now allows you to configure and manage multiple repository configurations. For each repo, you must set the following:
- Repository Name: Friendly name for this repo.
- CRX Repository URL: URL for the repo, i.e. http://localhost:4502
- Username/Password: Credentials used for transferring, ie. admin/admin
If more than one repo is configured, you will be prompted to select a repo for each operation. If only one repo exists, that repo will be used without any prompt.
