I am tasked with evaluating Aperi as well as determining what it takes to
develop a plugin. I have been following some instructions I have found at
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Aperi/build/dev-env to create a Windows
environment to be able to run Aperi in Debug mode.
That being said, I have been struggling to make the instructions work as
documented. I find that I have problems within the source with relative
paths, resolving Bundles, and missing files (e.g. searchReplace.config).
Another example is that I had to change the aperi.psf file to point to a
proxy to Import the source.
I had to modify download3rdParty.xml files to resolve issues. I also had
to modify the ConfigureAperi.java to get the ConfigureAperiIDE to run.
I am losing confidence. If I do get this to run ( as a result of my
changes) and then see some problem, I will not know if I have broken
something as a result of the decisions that I have made to resolve the
issues I encountered.
Is my experience normal or am I likely not doing something correctly?
Are there newer instructions that match the current project?
I know this is a general set of questions, but I would appreciate some
guidance as I try to move forward.
