AEM javax.inject,version=[0.0,1) — Cannot be resolved

If you run into a javax.inject error, here is a quick and easy way to resolve it.

I created a new AEM Maven project and upon deployment (in the OSGi bundles), I found that AEM was unable to resolve the “javax.inject” package as outlined in the screenshot below:

Here is what I did to resolve it.

1. Updated the project POM file to add the required dependency

            <dependency>

                   <groupId>javax.inject</groupId>

                  <artifactId>javax.inject</artifactId>

                  <version>1</version>

                  <scope>provided</scope>

            </dependency>

Note:

• For AEM 6.2 onwards the <version> value needs to be 1
• For AEM 6.0-6.1, use <version> value of 0.

Happy coding!
