Has anyone been able to create a replication package using infoengine

[IT_10321741]

Version: Windchill 12.0

Use Case: I am trying to automate creation of replication packages to synchronise two disconnected windchill instances with 500+ potential contexts to be synchronised. The code below is for a test with all the values hard coded. Windchill 12.0.2.11

Description:

This is the code but I either get a create or save error and an java.lang.instantiation exception. I have read in the API that the newReplicationPackage constructor should be used but not sure how to incorporate that,
