[capella-dev] Stuck while trying to get started as a developer

["Jeff R. Allen" <jallen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

My organisation is getting started with MBSE using Capella. However, we use Linux extensively, and we find issue 2316 a bit of a show stopper for us:

Description editor is broken on Linux · Issue #2316 · eclipse/capella (github.com)

Given it is already fixed upstream, I was hoping it would be a "simple matter" of building with the newest Eclipse or something. I am following the instructions here:

Development Environment · eclipse/capella Wiki (github.com)

It says to add directory "capella/eclipse", but that does not exist. I added "capella/releng" instead, because it is the one with org.polarsys.capella.rcp in it, which seems essential.

Then when I try to start the plugin, I get a verification error, indicating that org.polarsys.capella.rcp depends on org.polarsys.capella.core.platform.sirius.ui.actions or something, and when I add in the "capella/core" directory to pick it up, the number of missing dependencies just skyrockets, and I'm lost.

If someone could help me understand how to get development working with the current state of things, I would happily update the wiki to reflect what you tell me. :)

Thanks.

Jeff Allen
