I do not have any errors if I launch the designer via a JNLP link downloaded from the Gateway configuration UI.

I think the instructions may be a little out of date. The latest SDKs include a “launcher” pom for both client and designer that you can point at to (hopefully) grab all the dependencies you need at once.

You’ll still want your own launcher pom like on the docs page, but as far as SDK dependencies go, try adding one like this to it:

```xml
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.inductiveautomation.ignitionsdk</groupId>
        <artifactId>designer-launcher</artifactId>
        <version>7.9.2</version>
        <type>pom</type>
    </dependency>

```

(in addition to your own dependencies as the docs suggest)

Let me know if that works…

Kevin, thanks. Your suggestion is definitely on the right path… now I only have one error instead of twelve:

```auto

	caused by ClassNotFoundException: com.inductiveautomation.secsgem.DesignerHook

Okay, it looks like we’re just missing that one in our launcher. Does this prevent you from launching the Designer all together or just present an error box you have to click past?

Just an error message-- so not a blocker. Thanks.

Use 7.9.2 or 7.9.3 as the version.

I am having the same issue too. Actually y solved it thanks to this post but i cant execute my function in the Designer. I open the Script Console but no autocomplete is available for my function. In addition i would like to be able to set breakpoints in IntelliJ and debug but i think i must miss something. I followed the steps from [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/SE/Debugging+in+IntelliJ](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/SE/Debugging+in+IntelliJ) but it’s not working.

If anyone can help it would be great !  
Thanks.
