Debugging Gephi Plugin Builds

This post is mainly a note to self. I have recently been porting an old Gephi plugin to run on Gephi 0.11.1 that required quite a lot of work, searching, and a little AI augmentation to resolve some issues that were out of my experience.

One of the challenges was that the package would occasionally not build and show the error:

"Please execute 'mvn install nbm:cluster' to build all relevant projects"

Frustrating. I am a Maven novice but found the adaptation to mvn clean package as mvn clean package --project <project name> . This runs the install on the package on its own to see what the errors ae and to diagnose them. One of them, for me, was ‘Missing manifest tag OpenIDE-Module’, which a Stackoverflow post pointed out was a missing maven package.

That took some time to iron out but the package now builds and I found some issues with the tests. These will be ironed out eventually, but at least I have the command to get into it properly.
