This looks like a problem with your Xtend setup. Stubs.java refers to a
class written in Xtend. But apparently the
target/generated-sources/xtend folder, where Xtend places its output, is
empty. Can you check the Xtend compiler's output folder for the project
in question?

I am afraid that the wiki is a bit outdated. Most things (user manual,
etc.) are covered on the recently re-designed homepage [1]. Alas, what
we are missing is a more up-to-date explanation on how to build/extend
Code Recommenders. Maybe a readme.txt in the Git repo's root would do
the trick, without the overhead that maintaining a wiki entails (and
which we would like to avoid, now that we have the new homepage). I'll
put that onto my To-Do list.

That being said, there are now only two target platforms: "luna.target"
and "kepler.target". Either one should work fine for you; there is no
special "extenders" target platform anymore.

The product file to run the IDE with Code Recommenders resides now unter
"tools/ide.product". Just be aware that "tools" is not a Maven project;
you have to browse to this folder from the "org.eclipse.recommenders"
main project.

Hope this helps.

Andreas
