Building Jodd from source

Jodd is built with Gradle on JDK8, targeting Java 1.8. You don't have to install anything, the only prerequisites are Git and Java JDK.

Check out sources

Simply clone Jodd Git repo:

git clone https://github.com/oblac/jodd.git jodd

Compile and test, build jars

You can build the Jodd project with:

gradlew build

This will build all jars and run all unit tests. To skip the tests (for faster build), execute:

gradlew build -x test

Build full release with reports

To generate full release, including running integration tests and generating various reports, you need Docker v1.12+.

docker-compose -f etc/docker-compose.yml up
gradlew clean release

Integration tests requires some infrastructure (like databases), hence Docker is used.

Install Jodd into your local Maven

gradlew install

Feel free to contribute! Follow these steps:

First time only:

• fork the Jodd repo (upstream) to your GitHub account (origin)
• clone origin as your local repo
• install the ZenHub plugin to track tasks

Every other time:

• update both origin and local repos from upstream
• create new branch for a feature or bug fix
• commit often :)
• once when work is done, push local changes to your origin
• send us a pull request (PR)

We will pickup up from there :)
