Contributions

For any missing features or bugs you’re invited to create issues in this repository.

Note	Pull requests are appreciated but for non-trivial changes we highly recommend to create an issue before. This helps to avoid frustration if a contributor spends efforts on a PR which we then would not accept.

Development Setup

To build and test jQAssistant the following prerequisites must be satisfied on your machine:

• Java IDE (e.g. IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, VS Code)

  • ensure that you imported the settings for code formatting and import optimization available here

• Java Development Kit 11, 17 (recommended) or 21

• Apache Maven 3.8 or later

  • The file ~/.m2/settings.xml should contain the Sonatype OSS Snapshot repository (see here for an example)

Build and Test

The project can be built using Maven:

mvn verify

For execution of integration tests the according profile must be activated:

mvn verify -PIT

Note	This profiles activates all Java unit (*Test) and integration (*IT) tests as well as the Maven Invoker plugin (located under src/it). These tests are quite expensive, expect an execution time of at least 30 minutes for the whole project.
