Hi Dominik,
I found out what was going wrong and was able to fix it, however I wanted to
suggest to change the way the path is calculated to using subdirectories as
this causes confusion in IDEs (Not only IntelliJ)
For me there was no way to see the structure being different in the IDE and
this will be something that confuses people. I am sure we'll be having lots of
questions regarding this.
That was why I wanted to suggest to change this to "appId.replaceAll(".","/")"
... but it's just a suggestion.

Hi Chris,
yes, we use the appId (the identifier of the processing element) to manage
assets such as icons and language files. The appId is the first parameter you
provide in the ProcessingElementBuilder of the declareModel method (in your
case, it's provided by the variable ID).
As this id is used internally to identify the pipeline element, it should
use this dotted structure by convention (e.g., if you've started a pipeline
element container, the description of the pipeline element will be available
under this path).
So, for instance, if the ID of your processor is
org.apache.plc4x.streampipes.processors.enrich.bacnetip.ede, then the assets
that belong to this processor must be under a directory named
org.apache.plc4x.streampipes.processors.enrich.bacnetip.ede (which is just a
single directory) in your resources folder, otherwise they will not be found
once you start the container.
Hope this helps!
Dominik
