Hello,
I have begun to implement a new learner for Rapidminer. So far, I have followed the various tutorials on the web and was able to set up Eclipse / Subclipse with RM 5. Basic development works fine, I can change code on-the-fly and it will show up in RM when launched from Eclipse. I have to say that while I have experience with C, C++ etc., this is my first contact with Java development.
So far I could not get my own extension to work. As a start, I have simply started with a copy of the LinearRegression operator. I have renamed everything accordingly, so Eclipse does not show me any errors with the source code. I have also placed and entry for my operator in OperatorsCore.xml and the corresponding description in OperatorsCoreDocumentation.xml. However, when I start RM, my new operator is not shown. Instead, I simply get an error message in the log:
WARNING: Cannot create operator description: RapidMiner Core : string_method

What is it I have missed? Why is the new class I have defined not found? I know that in the end, I will have to put all my stuff in a plugin and create a .jar for it, but so far I figure development is easier that way.
Thanks!
