I'm with Brendon here, a major platform like windows should get some attention. 
What do you need Michael?
 
I'm tied up with several projects or I'd dive into it.

Hi Jared,
I've written a guide for setting up the ADE at [ 
https://unidata.github.io/awips2/dev/awips-development-environment/ ]( 
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 ]( 
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 ]( 
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.

Is it possible to use the AWIPS Development Environment on macOS? If so, what 
is required (beyond a JDK, of course)? I'd like to get a debugger onto the Mac 
version if possible so I can try to learn some more about why I'm seeing some 
errors with GIS datasets using labels (which seemed to improve in 17.1.1-3 but 
then broke for good again in 17.1.1-4 and -5).
Many thanks in advance!
