Development Environment
With this version JaCoCo is hosted at SourceForge as part of the EclEmma project. This document provides an overview of the local and shared tools used for JaCoCo development.
IDE
JaCoCo development is done with the latest Eclipse version 3.7.x. JaCoCo projects are OSGi bundles, therefore the PDE feature is required. Project specific Eclipse settings exist for the projects
org.jacoco.core
org.jacoco.core.test
All other projects and test projects link to these settings.
JRE/JDK
The minimum JRE version to execute JaCoCo is Java 1.5. However to guarantee compatibility JaCoCo builds should only be executed against a 1.5 JDK.
Build System
The build is based on Maven. The JaCoCo build requires Maven 3.
Third Party Dependencies
JaCoCo has dependencies to the following third party bundles:
- Apache Ant 1.7.x
- JUnit 4
- Objectweb ASM 3.3.x
These bundles are included with the Eclipse 3.7.x PDE feature and are not part of the JaCoCo source tree.
Source Control
The JaCoCo source code is maintained in a subversion repository at
https://eclemma.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/eclemma/jacoco
You will find the latest version as several Eclipse projects in the
trunk
folder. You might also browse the source code online via our
ViewVC
or Trac
web interface.
Planning
A Trac Instance is used for milestone planning and task tracking.
Communication
The development team communicates through a mailing list. The list is closed for non-developers but the archive is public. Please use the support channels to get in touch with the development team.
