Hello Graylog Community, I was hoping that I could get a little assistance on getting my plugin development environment setup. I have been following the Plugin Development guide at: [http://docs.graylog.org/en/2.4/pages/plugins.html#writing-plugins](http://docs.graylog.org/en/2.4/pages/plugins.html#writing-plugins) After downloading the latest master branch on the Meta Project, I noticed that the master branch no longer uses the scripts/bootstrap scripts. So instead I tried the readme.md instructions a try and got the latest version of the cli tool from releases. Running: graylog-project bootstrap github://Graylog2/graylog-project.git didn’t work as it wasn’t a valid repo name so I adjusted to the actual repo name and ran: graylog-project bootstrap [https://github.com/Graylog2/graylog-project.git](https://github.com/Graylog2/graylog-project.git) This downloaded the repos, but the server component didn’t appear ready to run in IntelliJ. Looking into the Pull requests([https://github.com/Graylog2/graylog-project/pull/8](https://github.com/Graylog2/graylog-project/pull/8)), I saw someone had mentioned that you needed to compile the server component first before intelliJ could run the server by doing the following: cd graylog-plugin-repos/graylog2-server mvn compile cd …/graylog-plugin-pipeline-processor mvn compile The 2nd directory doesn’t exist, but it the first appears to have worked with a build success at the end.However, once I opened IntelliJ, it still didn’t look like the runner module classpath was available. Anyone run into anything similar and find a way around? Currently I am running on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and using openjdk 8 Thank You! ---

Hi! I had a lot a problem with my environment too. I think the tool graylog-project doesn’t work properly so here my solution: - Download a Graylog release [https://github.com/Graylog2/graylog2-server/releases](https://github.com/Graylog2/graylog2-server/releases) (2.4.3 in my example) - Unzip the file - Use: `mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.graylog -DarchetypeArtifactId=graylog-plugin-archetype -DarchetypeVersion=2.4.3` in your graylog2-server-2.4.3 directory - Answer the questions in interactive mode - And here we go ! I’m not at all a specialist of Graylog or plugin development but I hope my answer will help you. Please let me know if it be so. Regards. ---
