Hi!
I’m running on Mac (El Capitan 10.11.1), Java build 1.8.0_45-b14, maven 3.1.1 and is quite new to Openhab so please bare with me 
I’ve started out with downloading prebuilt openhab1.8 and successfully managed to create a sitemap that displays
values from my Netatmo weather station.
I then decided to try to compile Openhab using the Eclipse tutorial, I copied the netatmo.items from my original installation to:
/Users/jangu/git/openhab/distribution/openhabhome/configurations/items (master) (3 entries, 0 hidden)
$ ll
total 40
-rw-r–r-- 1 jangu staff 220 13 Dec 17:52 README
-rw-r–r-- 1 jangu staff 6334 13 Dec 17:52 demo.items
-rw-r–r-- 1 jangu staff 6137 18 Dec 20:31 netatmo.items
and also the gg.sitemap to:
$ cd sitemaps/
/Users/jangu/git/openhab/distribution/openhabhome/configurations/sitemaps (master) (3 entries, 0 hidden)
$ ll
total 24
-rw-r–r-- 1 jangu staff 233 13 Dec 17:52 README
-rw-r–r-- 1 jangu staff 2737 13 Dec 17:52 demo.sitemap
-rw-r–r-- 1 jangu staff 3233 18 Dec 20:31 gg.sitemap
I’ve also copied the openhab.cfg to:
/Users/jangu/git/openhab/distribution/openhabhome/configurations (master) (12 entries, 0 hidden)

When I start the OpenHab runtime from Eclipse I see that it successully fetches data from my Netatmo weather station:
17:06:10.155 [INFO ] [runtime.busevents :26 ] - Netatmo_Indoor_Min_CO2_Date state updated to 2015-12-19T06:58:20

17:06:10.161 [INFO ] [runtime.busevents :26 ] - Netatmo_Outdoor_Max_Hum_Date state updated to 2015-12-19T16:32:24
However, opening my sitemap using http://localhost:8080/openhab.app?sitemap=gg#_Home shows my sitemap but no populated values. The demo sitemap has populated values.
If I start a debug configuration from Eclipse and se a breakpoint in execute method in the NetatmoBinding class I see that the debugger stops here once after start of server, but then never more. Shouldn’t execute be called periodically?
What might be the root cause of my sitemap not showing any values?
I would love to be able to run Openhab from the debugger to learn more on how an addon as Netatmo is implemented and maybe later on help out in adding more functionality.
