I could never get Java AIs working on Windows. Your best bet would still probably be either Lua (with Shard) or C++, I've built spring before (on MSVC x64 + VCPKG, which required some significant changes the cmakelists, and to streflop but that's another story...) and contributed to the engine (only a tiny bit though, like 2 years ago) so I know a little bit about the build process, but not much about the AI interfaces.

Shard
isn't
broken.
It's
not
an
AI.
It's
an
AI
_framework_.
See
'AI/Skirmish/Shard/README.
md'
in
the
source
files
for
details.
From
what
I
can
see
using
Shard
(
you
already
know
how
to
get
it
working
:)
)
would
be
the
easiest
way
if
you're
willing
to
use
Lua.

This way you'll have access to debug builds of both Spring and your AI. Hopefully you'll be able to do stuff like set breakpoints, etc. and develop much faster. As for developing with this process and Zero-K... that part I'm afraid you'll need to figure out yourself. A lot of people have trouble getting the Java AIs working apparently, but if you can get it working it could probably be simpler if you like Java.
