# Contributing to Spring Boot
|
|
Spring Boot is released under the non-restrictive Apache 2.0 license. If you would like
|
|
to contribute something, or simply want to hack on the code this document should help
|
|
you get started.
|
|
|
|
Before we accept a non-trivial patch or pull request we will need you to sign the
|
|
[contributor's agreement](https://support.springsource.com/spring_committer_signup).
|
|
Signing the contributor's agreement does not grant anyone commit rights to the main repository, but it does mean that we
|
|
can accept your contributions, and you will get an author credit if we do. Active contributors might be asked to join
|
|
the core team, and given the ability to merge pull requests.
|
|
|
|
## Code Conventions and Housekeeping
|
|
|
|
None of these is essential for a pull request, but they will all help. They can also be added after the original pull
|
|
request but before a merge.
|
|
|
|
* Use the Spring Framework code format conventions. Import `eclipse-code-formatter.xml` from the root of the project
|
|
if you are using Eclipse. If using IntelliJ, copy `spring-intellij-code-style.xml` to `~/.IntelliJIdea*/config/codestyles`
|
|
and select spring-intellij-code-style from Settings -> Code Styles.
|
|
* Make sure all new .java files to have a simple Javadoc class comment with at least an @author tag identifying you, and
|
|
preferably at least a paragraph on what the class is for.
|
|
* Add the ASF license header comment to all new .java files (copy from existing files in the project)
|
|
* Add yourself as an @author to the .java files that you modify substantially (moew than cosmetic changes).
|
|
* Add some Javadocs and, if you change the namespace, some XSD doc elements.
|
|
* A few unit tests would help a lot as well - someone has to do it.
|
|
* If no-one else is using your branch, please rebase it against the current master (or other target branch in the main project).
|
|
|
|
## Working with the code
|
|
If you don't have an IDE preference we would recommend that you use
|
|
[Spring Tools Suite](http://www.springsource.com/developer/sts) or
|
|
[Eclipse](http://eclipse.org) when working with the code. We use the
|
|
[m2eclipe](http://eclipse.org/m2e/) eclipse plugin for maven support. Other IDEs
|
|
and tools should also work without issue.
|
|
|
|
### Building from source
|
|
To build the source you will need to install
|
|
[Apache Maven](http://maven.apache.org/run-maven/index.html) v3.0 or above. The project
|
|
can be build using the standard maven command:
|
|
|
|
$ mvn clean install
|
|
|
|
> **NOTE:** You may need to increase the amount of memory available to Maven by setting
|
|
> a `MAVEN_OPTS` environment variable with the value `-Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m`
|
|
|
|
If you are rebuilding often, you might also want to skip the tests until you are ready
|
|
to submit a pull request:
|
|
|
|
$ mvn clean install -DskipTests
|
|
|
|
### Importing into eclipse with m2eclipse
|
|
We recommend the [m2eclipe](http://eclipse.org/m2e/) eclipse plugin when working with
|
|
eclipse. If you don't already have m2eclipse installed it is available from the "eclipse
|
|
marketplace".
|
|
|
|
Spring Boot includes project specific source formatting settings, in order to have these
|
|
work with m2eclipse, we provide an additional eclipse plugin that you can install:
|
|
|
|
* Select `Install new software` from the `help` menu
|
|
* Click `Add...` to add a new repository
|
|
* Click the `Archive...` button
|
|
* Select `org.eclipse.m2e.maveneclipse.site-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-site.zip`
|
|
from the `eclipse` folder in this checkout
|
|
* Install "Maven Integration for the maven-eclipse-plugin"
|
|
|
|
_NOTE: This plugin is optional. Projects can be imported without the plugin, your code
|
|
changes just won't be automatically formatted._
|
|
|
|
With the requisite eclipse plugins installed you can select
|
|
`import existing maven projects` from the `file` menu to import the code. You will
|
|
need to import the root `spring-boot` pom and the `spring-boot-samples` pom separately.
|
|
|
|
### Importing into eclipse without m2eclipse
|
|
If you prefer not to use m2eclipse you can generate eclipse project meta-data using the
|
|
following command:
|
|
|
|
$ mvn eclipse:eclipse
|
|
|
|
The generated eclipse projects can be imported by selecting `import existing projects`
|
|
from the `file` menu.
|
|
|
|
### Importing into other IDEs
|
|
Maven is well supported by most Java IDEs. Refer to you vendor documentation.
|
|
|
|
### Integration tests
|
|
The sample application are used as integration tests during the build (when you
|
|
`mvn install`). Due to the fact that they make use of the `spring-boot-maven-plugin`
|
|
they cannot be called directly, and so instead are launched via the
|
|
`maven-invoker-plugin`. If you encounter build failures running the integration tests,
|
|
check the `build.log` file in the appropriate sample directory.
