"Connect timed out" on initial module build

Module Development
1

I created an empty module for the first time from the instructions in your SDK Guide (The Module Code - Ignition SDK Programmer's Guide - Ignition Documentation). When trying to build it in eclipse, however, I get the “Connect timed out” error below. But I do see what look like other successes prior to that, so I’m not sure what’s going wrong. Any ideas?

Thank you!

In case anyone runs into the same problems, the other change I had to make was to change 1.6 to 1.8 in the pom.xml files:

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.2</version>
                <configuration>
                    <source>1.8</source>
                    <target>1.8</target>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

If you’re building a module for Ignition 8.x you can change that to 11 instead of 1.8.

Another thank you. I simply reacted to the build message and didn’t think about what I was changing. From your SDK document: “Ignition platform 8 requires a Java 11 JDK”.
