Using mvn aem-project-archetype in AEM 6.2 does not resolve the core bundle - javax.inject cannot be resolved - osgi

Question

I'm trying to build a new project using mvn aem-project-archetype (https://github.com/Adobe-Marketing-Cloud/aem-project-archetype) and on deploy the core bundle shows status as "Installed" but cannot be Active showing the error
javax.inject, version=[0.0,1) -- Cannot be resolved
I tried to add the dependencies as suggested here (https://github.com/Adobe-Marketing-Cloud/aem-project-archetype/issues/59)
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.geronimo.specs</groupId>
<artifactId>geronimo-atinject_1.0_spec</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.inject</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.inject</artifactId>
<version>1</version>
</dependency>
and also tried all solutions as listed here (http://help-forums.adobe.com/content/adobeforums/en/experience-manager-forum/adobe-experience-manager.topic.html/forum__fikl-ive_just_updatedfro.html) but they did not resolve.
Appreciate any help here.

Answer 1

Add Import-Package tag for "javax.inject" with version "0.0.0,*" under "org.apache.felix" plugin tag like below:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
<extensions>true</extensions>
<configuration>
<instructions>
<!-- <Embed-Dependency>
artifactId1,artifactId2;inline=true
</Embed-Dependency> -->
<!-- Import any version of javax.inject, to allow running on multiple versions of AEM -->
<Import-Package>javax.inject;version=0.0.0,*</Import-Package>
<Sling-Model-Packages>com.xyz.sample_test_impl.core</Sling-Model-Packages>
</instructions>
</configuration>
</plugin>

After some research here's some solutions for the above:
Comment "#Inject" in HelloWorldModel.java . This may not be ideal, but if you are not planning on using Sling Models, then this will work.
#Model(adaptables=Resource.class)
public class HelloWorldModel {
//#Inject
private SlingSettingsService settings;
//#Inject #Named("sling:resourceType") #Default(values="No resourceType")
protected String resourceType;
Use ACS's Lazybones AEM Template instead of Archetype 10 if you will be using AEM 6.1 or higher. This is the recommended template to use with AEM whihc is more sophisticated and up-to-date.

Try to sync your dependencies list with the following official sample project. In fact, it helped for me just after adding
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.inject</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.inject</artifactId>
<version>1</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
to general pom.xml and
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.inject</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.inject</artifactId>
</dependency>
to its child ../core/pom.xml
