Adobe Exam AD0-E123 Topic 1 Question 8 Discussion

In Maven for AEM, application is the packageType that is typically used for immutable code packages. These are packages that contain code that is not expected to change between deployments, such as OSGi bundles and certain content packages that do not contain user-editable content. This type of package is intended to be deployed to an AEM instance as part of the application's codebase, and the application packageType signifies this use case.

container is not a standard package type in AEM Maven project structures.

content is typically used for packages that contain mutable content, such as pages and configurations that can be edited by authors.
