I am trying to run knime-core release-2017-12 from github repository 1) using Eclipse IDE on my local, but I am facing some problems on the org.knime.ext.sun project inside JavaCodeCompiler class at compile() method. It throws several times CompilationFailedException with the message “File /Expression{Number}.java is missing”, where {Number} is in range [0…6].
I tried to replace the org.knime.ext.sun project with the previous project version(2017-07) from github, also I replaced the project with the org.knime.ext.sun_3.5.0 plugin from the zip archive installer version 3.5.2, but the same result.
I am using Eclipse Oxygen.3 Release (4.7.3), Java 8 on Windows 10.
Hi @mihais,
did you follow the instructions on how to setup your eclipse for KNIME development which you can find here: https://github.com/knime/knime-sdk-setup ? That should allow you to start debugging and developing KNIME locally.
best,
Gabriel
Thanks a lot for the answer, it helped me very much. Before this answer I didn’t followed the knime-sdk-setup instructions from the link.
I noticed that are some UI problems with running the KNIME Analytics Platform with org.eclipse.platform.ide, I also tried to run it with org.knime.product.KNIME_PRODUCT as Run configuration but it didn’t work. I ran it as a KNIME_BATCH_APPLICATION and it works fine.
I ran it as org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench instead of org.knime.product.KNIME_APPLICATION and could not find the configuration. If I run it as org.knime.product.KNIME_APPLICATION I have some UI missing elements like in the screenshot. Perhaps I am using the release/2017-12 branch.
