Update Eclipse settings to make use of a custom Spring formatter implementation. Using a custom formatter allows us to fix a couple of issues with the version that shipped with Eclipse Mars.1 (Eclipse bugs The custom formatter also means that it is possible to use Groovy Eclipse despite the fact that it has formatter regressions (see https://github.com/groovy/groovy-eclipse/issues/142). Fixes gh-4136

= Contributing to Spring Boot
|
|
|
|
Spring Boot is released under the 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
== Sign the Contributor License Agreement
|
|
Before we accept a non-trivial patch or pull request we will need you to sign the
|
|
https://support.springsource.com/spring_committer_signup[contributor's agreement].
|
|
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. Use ``Phillip Webb'' or ``Dave Syer'' in the
|
|
project lead field when you complete the form.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
== 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. If you use Eclipse and you follow
|
|
the ``Importing into eclipse'' instructions below you should get project specific
|
|
formatting automatically. You can also import formatter settings using the
|
|
`eclipse-code-formatter.xml` file from the `eclipse` folder. If using IntelliJ, you can
|
|
use the http://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/6546[Eclipse Code Formatter Plugin]
|
|
to import the same file.
|
|
* 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 (more
|
|
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).
|
|
* When writing a commit message please follow http://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messages.html[these conventions],
|
|
if you are fixing an existing issue please add `Fixes gh-XXXX` at the end of the commit
|
|
message (where XXXX is the issue number).
|

|
== Working with the code
|
|
If you don't have an IDE preference we would recommend that you use
|
|
http://www.springsource.com/developer/sts[Spring Tools Suite] or
|
|
http://eclipse.org[Eclipse] when working with the code. We use the
|
|
http://eclipse.org/m2e/[m2eclipe] 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
|
|
http://maven.apache.org/run-maven/index.html[Apache Maven] v3.0.6 or above and JDK 1.7.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
==== Default build
|
|
The project can be built from the root directory using the standard maven command:
|
|
|
|
[indent=0]
|
|
----
|
|
$ 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:
|
|
|
|
[indent=0]
|
|
----
|
|
$ mvn clean install -DskipTests
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
==== Full Build
|
|
Multi-module Maven builds cannot directly include maven plugins that are part of the
|
|
reactor unless they have previously been built. Unfortunately this restriction causes
|
|
some compilations for Spring Boot as we include a maven plugin and use it within the
|
|
samples. The standard build works around this restriction by launching the samples via
|
|
the `maven-invoker-plugin` so that they are not part of the reactor. This works fine
|
|
most of the time, however, sometimes it useful to run a build that includes all modules
|
|
(for example when using `maven-versions-plugin`. We use the full build on our CI servers
|
|
and during the release process.
|
|
|
|
Running a full build is a two phase process.
|
|
|
|
1) Prepare the build
|
|
|
|
Preparing the build will compile and install the `spring-boot-maven-plugin` so that it
|
|
can be referenced during the full build. It also generates a `settings.xml` file that
|
|
enables a `snapshot`, `milestone` or `release` profiles based on the version being
|
|
build. To prepare the build, from the root directory use:
|
|
|
|
[indent=0]
|
|
----
|
|
$ mvn -P snapshot,prepare install -DskipTests
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
NOTE: You may notice that preparing the build also changes the
|
|
`spring-boot-starter-parent` POM. This is required for our release process to work
|
|
correctly.
|
|
|
|
2) Run the full build
|
|
|
|
Once the build has been prepared, you can run a full build using the following commands:
|
|
|
|
[indent=0]
|
|
----
|
|
$ mvn -s ./settings.xml -f spring-boot-full-build -P full clean install
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
NOTE: As for the standard build, 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`. We generate more artifacts when running the full build
|
|
(such as Javadoc jars), so you may find the process a little slower than the standard build.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== Importing into eclipse with m2eclipse
|
|
We recommend the http://eclipse.org/m2e/[m2eclipe] 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 additional Eclipse plugins that you can install:
|
|
|
|
===== Install the m2eclipse-maveneclipse plugin
|
|
* Select "`Help`" -> "`Install New Software`".
|
|
* Add `https://dl.bintray.com/philwebb/m2eclipse-maveneclipse` as a site.
|
|
* Install "Maven Integration for the maven-eclipse-plugin"
|
|
|
|
===== Install the Spring Formatter plugin
|
|
* Select "`Help`" -> "`Install New Software`".
|
|
* Add `https://dl.bintray.com/philwebb/spring-eclipse-code-formatter/` as a site.
|
|
* Install "Spring Code Formatter"
|
|
|
|
NOTE: These plugins are optional. Projects can be imported without the plugins, 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 metadata using the
|
|
following command:
|
|
|
|
[indent=0]
|
|
----
|
|
$ 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 your 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.
