An AEM Developer needs to build out a project. That contains only the required modules. Which most recent AEM Archetype module is optional?

When building out a project using the most recent AEM Archetype, the ui.frontend module is

optional. The ui.frontend module is typically used for integrating front-end build processes, such as

those involving npm, Webpack, or other front-end tooling. If your project does not require such

front-end tooling, you can omit this module.

Here is a breakdown of the archetype modules:

it.launcher: This module is used for integration tests and is required if you need to run automated

tests as part of your build process.

ui.frontend: This module includes front-end tooling and build processes. It is optional and can be

omitted if your project does not involve complex front-end development.

ui.tests: This module includes unit and integration tests for the UI part of your AEM project. It is often

required for testing purposes.

ui.content: This module includes the content structures and initial content for your AEM project. It is

generally required to set up the content for your project.
