AEM Project Archetype 23

This release includes the following enhancements:

• AEM as a Cloud Service support:
  Everything is now ready for your new project to go the cloud: the dispatcher configuration is cloud-ready, the project structure is as it should be, and we've added support for the cloud SDK that replaces the Uber-Jar.
• SPA Editor support:
  So that you can also implement your site with a JS framework like React or Angular, we've merged the "SPA Archetype" into this one, and we took the opportunity to improve it.
• Cleaned-up example content with basic styling:
  We've streamlined the sample content to be as simple as it can be: a localized experience fragment with a style applied by the Style System makes the page header and footer, and the front-end build process defines a minimalistic slick look to start off.
• Simplified archetype variables:
  So that you don't get asked a dozen obscure questions, we reduced the questions asked by the archetype. Typically, the same appId variable will determine the names of the app, conf and content folders.
• Core Components 2.8.0 support:
  Benefit from the latest update to our components that provides enhancements to the following components: Content Fragment, Experience Fragment, Download, Embed, Image, and Navigation.

For a list of all the 21 issues fixed, see the Archetype 23 milestone.
