I'm having the same problems on MacOS. Were you able to find a solution?

Hi, what IDE do you use? We no longer encourage our customers to use Eclipse for development. Please use Intelij IDEA. If you are using it already can you please clarify what the issue is. If not, please use Intellij IDEA. Here are the videos how to set up the project in IDEA.

I followed both videos but am now getting an error message when I try to link the Gradle project. Do you know of any solutions for this problem? Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

EDIT: Nevermind this post, I fixed the issue. Thanks again

Looks like your plugin references some missing class. Can I see your log for details? It would be perfect if I saw your source code. If you are OK with it, please attach it. You can send it to me in a private mesage if you don't want to expose it in this thread.

Thanks @AndreyR I finally managed to get my plugin to start loading.
Now Im facing a issue where my code depends on an external lib to handle json - Jackson.
But every time I call code on that lib I get a method or class not found, any recommendations on how to address this?

Thanks

Hi,
Bookmap does not have the jackson lib. If you use Gradle build task for your strategies it will not include the jackson library to the jar and classes from jackson will always be missing.
You need to create a `fat` jar - an archive which will contain both your strategy and the jackson library (dependency). There are guides how to create a fat jar, for example this one
https://www.baeldung.com/gradle-fat-jar
or you can just Google "Gradle fat jar task".
