Spring Boot command line features for Spring Cloud.
To install, make sure you have Spring Boot CLI (1.1.x with x>=5):
$ spring version Spring CLI v1.1.8.RELEASE
E.g. for GVM users
$ gvm install springboot 1.1.8.RELEASE
$ gvm use springboot 1.1.8.RELEASE
then get the install command plugin (backported from Boot 1.2.0):
$ wget http://dl.bintray.com/dsyer/generic/install-0.0.2.jar
install it in the Spring Boot CLI, e.g. with GVM (MacOS users that rely on brew might have to find the /lib
directory by scanning brew info springboot
):
$ cp install-0.0.2.jar ~/.gvm/springboot/1.1.8.RELEASE/lib
and finally install the Spring Cloud plugin:
$ mvn install
$ spring install org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-cli:1.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT
To build the source you will need to install Apache Maven v3.0.6 or above and JDK 1.7.
Spring Cloud uses Maven for most build-related activities, and you should be able to get off the ground quite quickly by cloning the project you are interested in and typing
$ mvn install -s .settings.xml
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
|
The .settings.xml
is only required the first time (or after updates
to dependencies). It is there to provide repository declarations so
that those do not need to be hard coded in the project poms.
For hints on how to build the project look in .travis.yml
if there
is one. There should be a "script" and maybe "install" command. Also
look at the "services" section to see if any services need to be
running locally (e.g. mongo or rabbit). Ignore the git-related bits
that you might find in "before_install" since they will be able git
credentials and you already have those.
If you need mongo, rabbit or redis, see the README in the [scripts demo repository](https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/scripts) for instructions. For example consider using the "fig.yml" with [Fig](http://www.fig.sh/) to run them in Docker containers.
The spring-cloud-build module has a "docs" profile, and if you switch
that on it will try to build asciidoc sources from
src/main/asciidoc
. As part of that process it will look for a
README.adoc
and process it by loading all the includes, but not
parsing or rendering it, just copying it to ${main.basedir}
(defaults to ${basedir}
, i.e. the root of the project). If there are
any changes in the README it will then show up after a Maven build as
a modified file in the correct place. Just commit it and push the change.
Spring Cloud is released under the non-restrictive Apache 2.0 license, and follows a very standard Github development process, using Github tracker for issues and merging pull requests into master. If you want to contribute even something trivial please do not hesitate, but follow the guidelines below.
Before we accept a non-trivial patch or pull request we will need you to sign the 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.
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 theeclipse
folder. If using IntelliJ, you can use the 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).
If you don’t have an IDE preference we would recommend that you use Spring Tools Suite or Eclipse when working with the code. We use the m2eclipe eclipse plugin for maven support. Other IDEs and tools should also work without issue.
We recommend the m2eclipe eclipse plugin when working with eclipse. If you don’t already have m2eclipse installed it is available from the "eclipse marketplace".
If you prefer not to use m2eclipse you can generate eclipse project metadata using the following command:
$ mvn eclipse:eclipse
The generated eclipse projects can be imported by selecting import existing projects
from the file
menu.
