Hi Jared,
I've written a guide for setting up the ADE at
https://unidata.github.io/awips2/dev/awips-development-environment/
Other than the yum repositories, the instructions are valid for all
operating systems. You'll need JDK 1.8, Eclipse 4.5.1, and after Eclipse is
installed you'll need the latest version of PyDev installed within Eclipse.
The issue with resource labeling you refer to is
https://github.com/Unidata/awips2/issues/181
It's related to the GL screenshot error on Mac, which is discussed at
http://forum.jogamp.org/How-to-make-screenshot-on-SWT-td4033448.html and is
caused by using old and new SWT classes with Jogamp.
I fully welcome you investigating this, it's been a major bug in the Mac
release for a while and I come back to it every few months hoping to gain
new insight or find a small fix, but more and more it seems that in order
to solve this it would take a major refactoring of how SWT GLCanvas is used
in AWIPS.
