Hi Carsten,
Thanks a lot for your post. Its great to know there are such wonderful helpful people like you in the world, who make the world a better place to live!
I am going thru the book link. However there a few issues in following your step by step instructions, first I am using Net-beans IDE, second, the attachments are not accessible to me (protected), third I tried to create a fresh project using ECLIPSE, but it couldn’t find the Ignition Archetypes , it gave some error so I abandoned. But will continue to explore.
In my NetBeans IDE, I created the GCM project using the Ignition:client-designer-gateway-archetype and it does generate the Maven parent project “GCM Ignition Module” as well as the GCM-common, GCM-clinet, GCM-designer, GCM-gateway and GCM-build modules. I deleted the GCM-common, client, designer modules and retained CGM-build and CGM-gateway modules. Then I build the “GCM Ignition Module” parent project it builds successfully giving following msg:
[color=#0000FF]------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reactor Summary:
GCM Ignition Module … SUCCESS [0.498s]
GCM-gateway … SUCCESS [3.767s]
GCM-build … SUCCESS [0.745s]
BUILD SUCCESS
------------------------------------------------------------------------[/color]
Then I build the CGM-gateway module which contains my class files for my Ignition module. It builds successfully. Finally when I build GCM-build module which fails giving following error:
[color=#0000FF]Failed to execute goal com.inductiveautomation.ignitionsdk:ignition-maven-plugin:1.0.8:modl (default) on project GCM-build: Execution default of goal com.inductiveautomation.ignitionsdk:ignition-maven-plugin:1.0.8:modl failed. NullPointerException -> [Help 1]
To see the full stack trace of the errors, re-run Maven with the -e switch.
Re-run Maven using the -X switch to enable full debug logging.

I don’t know what’s going wrong! I am getting stuck and fed up, by can’t give up. Will appreciate your help, using netbeans example if possible!
