Hi,
In your modules section there can be only one module that other modules do not depend on. Also try to use gephi-plugins instead, not sure if the bootcamp is completely updated.

Ah thanks, running install with the debug option helped me find the issue. The build was failing with the following:

CODE:

[ERROR] Project uses classes from transitive module org.netbeans.api:org-openide-util:jar:RELEASE81 which will not be accessible at runtime.[INFO]     To fix the problem, add this module as direct dependency. For OSGi bundles that are supposed to be wrapped in NetBeans modules, use the useOSGiDependencies=false parameter

Which I solved by adding the following to my pom.xml

CODE:

   org.netbeans.api   org-openide-util

I can now see the layout when I run gephi-plugins, Thanks!

That's strange. Try to do a mvn install first, before the run command. If still not working, try to debug the maven build with -X option.

Thanks, I have updated it now by correcting what you mentioned. The "Reactor Summary" for the build process however still says "SKIPPED" for my plugin, and the layout is not listed in the layout drop down, do you know how I might go about fixing the "SKIPPED" issue?

You should not specify any version in your dependencies at https://github.com/suryanash/gephi-plug ... in/pom.xml
Also never depend on the gephi-toolkit in a gephi-plugins project.

So, just include the separate modules that you need without versions:

CODE:

    org.gephi    graph-api    org.gephi    ui-propertyeditor

You will probably also need Layout API etc. The complete list of modules is here https://github.com/suryanash/gephi-plug ... es/pom.xml

Is there any other reason why the layout might not be listed there? I tried running mvn org.gephi:gephi-maven-plugin:run in from the root (gephi-plugins) folder but the same thing happened as when I run it through netbeans, the plugin doesnt appear in the layout drop down.

Yes it should appear in layouts.
The plugins menu is only a place holder for possible plugins, so it's normally empty.

Okay I will try running it through the console instead, I have been running it through netbeans by running the gephi-plugins project.

When gephi runs, is the plugin layout supposed to appear in the drop down with the other layouts? Also I just realised when I click on Plugins in the menu bar (not Tools > Plugins, just Plugins) nothing happens. Not sure if thats related though.

Looks fine, are you runing it from your gephi-plugins root folder with this command?

mvn org.gephi:gephi-maven-plugin:run

That or just click Run in Netbeans from the root (gephi-plugins) maven project.

I do have the annotation, however it still was not working so I tried to start using the geo plugin instead of the grid one, however I ended up getting stuck in the same place. Here is my current repo: https://github.com/suryanash/gephi-plugins

Does anything stick out as incorrectly done to you?

Cool, make sure you have a layout builder like https://github.com/gephi/gephi-plugins/ ... ilder.java and is annotated with the @ServiceProvider(service = LayoutBuilder.class) annotation.

Ah I see, I have now set up my directories like that. Thanks, I now have no errors in Netbeans. When I run gephi by right clicking gephi-plugins and running it, I can't seem to see the layout listed anywhere. However I can see the plugin when I go to Tools > Plugins in Installed.

You can check how it should be done in the Geolayout plugin, which is working correctly: https://github.com/gephi/gephi-plugins/ ... /GeoLayout

Thanks, I am trying to work from just the gephi-plugins fork now. I have created my own module (GravityPlugin) now but am having trouble adding in the grid layout code from the bootcamp (the files I downloaded/copy pasted were GridLayout.java and GridLayoutBuilder.java). I have placed the code in the path of ../gephi-plugins/modules/GravityPlugin/src/main/ but initially had them in ../gephi-plugins/modules/GravityPlugin/src/main/java/ but ran into wrong package issues. However I am still unable to to use/see this layout when I run the plugin project.

I am fairly unfamiliar with maven and the structuring of the project as I have only really used POOJ when using Java, so I apologise.

Is there some a guide or another forum post that I should look at on how to get my custom layout set up? I imagine for people with more experience with maven the gephi-plugins-bootcamp should suffice but I found I am finding it hard to replicate.

Thanks,

Surya

Help with creating a layout plugin

2016-05-19T13:22:10+01:00

Hi there,

I have been using Gephi-Toolkit for the past couple of months on a university project to layout some network graphs but now I have been trying to create a modification of the ForceAtlas2 layout. I have tried to fork both the gephi-plugins and gephi-plugins-bootcamp code to start my work however I run into a lot of issues with maven. I am currently trying to work off of the gephi-plugins-bootcamp code, but when I try to run

CODE:

mvn clean package

I get the following error:

CODE:

Failed to execute goal org.gephi:gephi-maven-plugin:1.1.2-SNAPSHOT:validate (validate-plugin) on project gephi-plugins: Multiple module suites have been found, this is not supported -> [Help 1]

I have tried commenting out the other plugins but then I get other errors. Could someone help me get started with writing my own gephi plugin? I want to start my modification from the existing ForceAtlas2 modification, so my plan was to copy over the implementation in gephi and after identical plugin works to then build upon it.

Thanks,

Surya
