The environment

OpenIDE's environment is what integrates all it's parts. To demonstrate this go into any directory and run the command oi environment start. This will launch it using this directory as it's basis. In a different window run the command oi event-listener. The event listener will print out all events happening within this environment. For instance if you create or modify a file within this directory or a sub directory you will see events printed from the event listener. You can inspect active environments through the oi environment command. To get details about a running environment use the oi environment details command the the key(environment base path) as argument. To shut down the the environment us the oi shutdown command. Either in side the environment directory structure or specifying the key as argument.

Initializing a configuration point

The configuration point is the root of a workspace/solution/project/whateveritscalled. To initialize a configuration point navigate to what you consider to be the environment base path and run the command oi init or oi init C# if what you are working with is C# code.
