Prerequisites:
Java JDK (Azul Zulu 11 is recommended for Ignition 8.0.)
IntelliJ IDEA. The community edition works well.
Steps:
- In IntelliJ, create new project
- Select Maven, Add Maven Archetype
Group : com.inductiveautomation.ignitionsdk
Artifact: client-designer-gateway-archetype
Version : 1.2.0 (Latest version as of 12/2019) - After choosing the archetype, use the following info for your module
GroupId : Make this the moduleID (i.e. org.ignitionmdc.barcodedecoder)
ArtifactId: Make this the last part of the GroupId (i.e. barcodedecoder)
Version : Make this Ignition standard with 3 numbers (i.e. 1.0.0)- Click to auto-import maven dependencies in the bottom right if prompted.
- Change your moduleID
- Open your <modulename>-build directory in IntelliJ IDEA's Project panel
- Open your pom.xml
- Find moduleId and change it to match your GroupId
- If you'd like a nice Module Name and Description, you can update that info here:
- Open your pom.xml from your main directory in IntelliJ IDEA's Project panel
- Find and update <name> and <description>
- Build your module
- Open View -> Tool Windows -> Maven Projects
- Expand "Module Name (root)", "Lifecycle"
- Right click "package", click "Run Maven Build"
- Sign your module
- You can follow the instructions here: https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/SE/Module+Signing
- If you don't have a code signing certificate, to self sign look here: https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/self-signing-a-module/12380/2
That's it! Go to your Ignition Gateway, add your module, and you're good to go.

I have problem resolving dependencies:
First following the ignition I correct the main repository url with this: https://nexus.inductiveautomation.com/repository/inductiveautomation-releases/
After that, when maven tries to resolve local dependencies between local targets, it fails because is tryig to resolve it on maven repos and not between local targets. Any suggestion?
Anyway thank you for you guide!
