[sleuthkit-developers] Questions about module development in Jython

[Labis A. <lab...@pr...>]

Hello,

recently I've started working on making a module for Autopsy in Jython. Currently I am trying to setup a development environment, but without any success.
Following the instructions from the official docs suggesting netbeans and intellij setup, I found them rather outdated.(ex. broken link for netbean's python plugin)
At some point I managed to setup an environment in Eclipse and to successfully add the java libraries from "autopsy/modules" directory but I still had issues importing some libraries from org.sleuthkit.datamodel (importerror: no module datamodel found). Looking into the jar files found in modules directory I didn't find any org.sleuthkit.datamodel package.

Thus, I'd like to ask a few questions:

1. Are there any more up-to-date instructions about how to setup such an environment ?
2. Would it be better to develop in Java ? (Jython seems quite obscure, unless I could set it up right ?)

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
