first, my English is pretty limited…

I’m trying to build ignition-sdk-examples perspective-component module. I successfully compile the example and create the .modl file. However, when I install the example module into ignition and try to run the designer. I get the exception in ignition “Exception while starting up module “org.fakester.radcomponent”.”  
I unzipped the perspective-component-1.0.0.jar file. It’s empty, only one folder “META-INF”, it seems that the jar have not been got from “Nexus Repository” ?

Does anybody have any insight on how best to approach this and what specific pieces of ignition I need to be concerned with?

If you're building to target 8.1, then you need to use a different base until we update the master branch:

> [@Perspective components in 8.1](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/perspective-components-in-8-1/40483/2):
>
> Perry has the latest on a fork - should land on the main repo sometime soon.

As far as I know, the version I linked.

I’m not sure why your attempt isn’t building successfully. Are each of the submodules building correctly? Try `./gradlew :web:build`, to specifically build the web submodule, then check its `build/` directory.
